Information was researched accordingly. <br /> Staff explored designs for shelters in other cities and countries; internal <br /> discussions were held with the Planning & Building Agency; with PWA's <br /> Administration division which handles the Clear Channel contract; Information <br /> Services to obtain technical guidance; and with PWA's Construction division for <br /> constructability matters. Discussions were held with OCTA and interviews with <br /> riders were conducted. Santa Ana sites were visited as well. The principal <br /> request from riders is that the shelters should provide shade. it was noted that <br /> transit stops must be durable. Photos of global installations were provided, some <br /> more ambitious and customized than others. Emerging goals include a cutting <br /> edge look, consideration of technology and green building, adaptable design for <br /> varying right of way conditions, and completion of the project within budget. <br /> Special features to consider include real time information boards, wi-fi <br /> capabilities, mobile phone charging, digital boards for City news, and green <br /> building. The transit stops to be improved at this time are along major transit <br /> thoroughfares. Two concepts and proposed prototypes were presented. One <br /> concept is a linear design; the other is a triangular design. The panels of the <br /> proposed shelters were discussed with Committee members, including the types <br /> of materials typically used. The next steps were explained, including finalization <br /> of the concept, development of the design, preparation of contract documents <br /> and the bid release. It is expected that the contract will be awarded in summer of <br /> 2016, with installation in Fall-Winter of 2016. <br /> Committee member Benavides expressed his appreciation of staff's efforts on <br /> the functional elements and design of the project. He indicated that he likes the <br /> concept of the design used in Ciudad Juarez, as well as elements of the curved <br /> awing which shows some creativity. It was clarified that the panels could be used <br /> for the city's branding campaign. <br /> Chairman Sarmiento said that this is an opportunity to have different themes, <br /> noting that cities like San Francisco and San Antonio design their bus shelters to <br /> fit elements of particular neighborhoods; for instance, the downtown shelters may <br /> be more colorful due to the artist's village. Other items to be taken into <br /> consideration include weather and graffiti. He is not pleased with the look of the <br /> plastic which looks nice initially but then are not attractive when they are <br /> weathered. Pitching the top or angling may be considered, but it is important that <br /> the stops wear well. It was emphasized that the design be very functional and <br /> usable for seniors and the disabled, so the linear design may be a better choice <br /> for shade. It was also mentioned that other cities also sell advertising space. <br /> 4.
