11 aw' <br /> nart9.nS <br /> SANTA ANA ACTIVE STREETS <br /> The bus shelter as proposed is a standard type with shading, trash can and advertisement. Yet, <br /> a consistent concern at these shelters is how poorly lit they are. The poor lighting creates a <br /> safety issue for community members susceptible to harassment. Whatever proposal is accepted <br /> should include good visible lighting. Additionally, the advertisement panel makes the space <br /> within the shelter opaque and lessens a riders visibility around them if they are sitting in the <br /> bench area. In lieu of advertisement panels, it would help to have clear paneling without the <br /> advertisement blocking the view of the sidewalk/road. <br /> The proposed shelter design is also a missed opportunity for aiding public transit riders during <br /> their travel. With more flexibility in the design, it would be great to see things like digital bus <br /> displays showing when buses would arrive, a call help box, and lean bars.. <br /> Additionally, the City's report does not include input from bus riders and the overall Santa Ana <br /> community. If bus riders were consulted, these and many other issues around safety and <br /> comfort could make bus shelters even better. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ;1� <br /> Kristopher Fortin <br /> Project Director <br /> Santa Ana Active Streets is a community-based coalition with the mission of cultivating diverse <br /> community participation in creating a safe and accessible environment for active transportation <br /> in Santa Ana.
