Dennis Welsch <br />Director, Community Development <br />City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br /> <br />Re: Transit Shelters Along Fixed Bus Routes. <br /> <br />Dear Dennis: <br /> <br />Thank you and Debra Bloom for meeting with me about transit shelters and amenities <br />(e.g. benches, bike lockers/racks, newspaper corrals, etc.) at bus stops in Roseville. Th is <br />will provide the City of Roseville with additional information about our transit <br />amenity program, community agreement, and products and services. <br /> <br />It is our experience that safe, convenient, and weather-protective bus stops are an <br />important yet neglected connection between citizens and public transit. It is also cHi <br />expensive proposition to equip bus stops with transit shelters, and to maintain them <br />year-round. Each year, Metro Transit's budget is limited in dollars for new shelter <br />installations-and more importantly, maintenance of existing shelters. As a <br />consequence, few shelters are installed and maintenance is minimized. <br /> <br />Outdoor Promotions, Inc. has developed numerous public/private partnerships with <br />cities to equip bus stops with safe, clean, and weather-protecting shelters. We helVe <br />implemented programs in Colorado, Wyoming and California which provide us with <br />expertise in the development of programs from the planning stages through <br />construction and on-going maintenance. In addition, we offer a number of products, <br />all matching in style and color that will significantly raise the quality of image and <br />service of bus stops in Roseville. <br /> <br />We offer a privately funded shelter and amenity program implemented directly with <br />the city. We begin by listening to Roseville's needs, concerns, and directions for <br />improved public transit. We do not come to Roseville with prescribed solutions or <br />products. Instead, we work with you to create the set of transit amenities desired <br />by Roseville. Our program enables Roseville to directly control the <br />location, construction and maintenance of bus stop improvements; <br />In addition, for Metro Transit, our program eliminates a costly <br />budget item while equipping more bus stops with shelters <br />that meet your community ..n~ds. ~~ <br /> <br />~~W' ) <br />~~ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br />'2 S.
