Impact analysis
The city collected only about $30,000 a year from the shelters; replacement benches would use Measure M and restricted transit funds, with new shelters estimated around $50,000 each.
Bus riders get cleaner stops and eventually proper benches; the whole city gets rid of visual blight at major intersections.
Bus riders who relied on shelter seating may temporarily lose cover and benches until replacements are installed.
