<br />5. Transit Shelters <br /> <br />Duane Schwartz briefly summarized the history of this agenda itcm. Craig <br />Piernot from Outdoor Promotions was in attendance. He spoke about the <br />process they went through in selecting the proposed shelter sites. Sites are <br />not definite at this point; changes will probably still occur because of the <br />pennitting process. Deb Bloom pointed out the proposed sites for the <br />audience. <br /> <br />Schwartz asked Piernot to briefly discuss cunent Metro Transit shelters <br />and what the future may be for those shelters. Piemot said that because of <br />budget shOltages, Metro Transit is unable to maintain cunent shelters or <br />add new. Outdoor Promotions has been talking to them about assuming <br />the maintenance functions and will eventually replace cunent shelters with <br />new ones so that the design is consistent. <br /> <br />Schwartz stated that the next step for the Commission is to bring fOlward <br />any concerns they have about the proposed shelter locations. Schwartz <br />read the bus shelter ordinance to give the Commission guidelines on what <br />their role is in this process. The Commission needs to give Outdoor <br />Promotions their approval to move ahead and then hold public hearings in <br />the near future. <br /> <br />Piernot said that to begin obtaining official approval they would start out <br />with one shelter site and get the pern1its from Roseville and Ramsey <br />County. Xcel Energy will be involved with the electric service to the <br />shelter. The public hearings should only be regarding the proposed sites. <br /> <br />Member Anderson asked about US Bench and whether there will be <br />coexistence of shelters and benches in Roseville. Schwartz said that there <br />is a different ordinance for benches and that there will be some <br />coexistence in Roseville. <br /> <br />Piemot stated his company does not put shelters in residential areas unless <br />the residents specifically ask for them. When they are requested, there is <br />no advertising put in them. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring moved that they approve the preliminary proposed <br />shelter locations. Member Marasteanu seconded. <br /> <br />Ayes: 3 <br />Nays: 0 <br />Motion canied <br /> <br />6.
