However, each potential location will require more comprehensive study before a permit <br />application for a transit shelter can be submitted to the City. The comprehensive study of each bus <br />stop is pm1 ofthe permit process and will include the following site selection criteria <br /> <br />. Available Right-of-way <br />. Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) <br />. Daily boardings <br />. Effect on adjacent property uses <br />. Access to public electricity source <br />. City requirements for line of sight, setbacks, etc. <br />. Advertising value <br />. Compliance with requirements in the Shelter Design Guidelines <br /> <br />The City's GIS data is inadequate to determine available right of way, effects on adjacent property <br />use, and compliance with ADA transit requirements. These are necessary criteria for siting transit <br />shelters. <br /> <br />To meet its goal to improving public transit amenities, at no cost to the City, Roseville ought to give <br />itself the preference for shelters versus benches at these 20 preliminary bus stops. The decision about <br />which transit amenity to permit at a bus stop ought to reflect the greatest service for Roseville <br />citizens <br /> <br />R;;ct~~y:;/ J-- <br /> <br />ljPa4f7t:c/I.7)rf-L <br /> <br />Craig A.
