Many of these shelter sites were identified and <br /> recommended by the cities in which they are located. The input from the <br /> cities has been valuable in assisting the MTC to locate the shelters <br /> where they would best serve the needs of the cities and their residents. <br /> • At this time, the MTC is initiating work on a passenger waiting shelter <br /> program that will result in the installation of 48 shelters in 1983. <br /> Because of the lengthy site review and approval process, we are now <br /> requesting that each city provide a list of up to three shelter <br /> locations to be considered in this project. We are also requesting that <br /> your shelter recommendations be prioritized so that the` MTC staff may <br /> initiate work on the highest priority site first. Should this site not <br /> receive the necessary approvals, the MTC staff would then initiate work <br /> on the second and third priority sites. <br /> Enclosed are' two lists of shelter sites within your city: The first <br /> identifies those scheduled to be installed in the Spring of 1982 and the <br /> second identifies additional requested shelter sites the MTC has begun <br /> investigating. These lists may assist you in establishing your priority <br /> list. <br /> Along with the location and direction of travel served, the requested <br /> shelter sites list indicates the passenger count. For a shelte,'_ to be <br /> considered in those instances where the count is less than 40, the MTC's <br /> guidelines require the city to agree 1) to participate in the cost of <br /> the shelter's construction and 2) to assume responsibility fo_ routine <br /> maintenance. The required participation is met by either paying 10% of <br /> the cost of the shelter installation (not to exceed $600) or supplying <br /> the necessary concrete base (as per the MTC's specifications) . Routine <br /> maintenance is defined as window cleaning, snow and litter removal, <br /> etc. The MTC retains responsibility for structural maintenance. <br /> r-. .,.---- <br /> / <br />
