Title
MARTA Bus Shelter Design
Body
Action Required:
Guidance
Description:
Staff is proposing to install new bus shelters with a design that matches the context of Roswell's historic character at a number of MARTA bus stop locations throughout the city with a portion of the MARTA Offset Funds. Staff has researched previous efforts by the City to install non-standard MARTA bus shelters at bus stops. Based on previous information, staff identified the Palladian style bus shelter manufactured by Daytech Manufacturing Ltd.
The Historic Preservation Committee has reviewed and has concurred with the bus shelter design. The Historic Preservation Committee responded positively to the bus shelter design.
For further details and photos of the proposed bus shelter design, see the attached Memorandum to the Historic Preservation Committee dated January 7, 2010.
Staff requests Council approval of the bus shelter design. There will be no advertising associated with these shelters. There may be traveler information provided, such as a route map.
Comments:
Staff will discuss in detail the recommended transit enhancement projects to implement with the MARTA Offset Funds at the March 1, 2010 Work Session. The Work Session will discuss the locations of bus shelters, sidewalks, and other projects.
