<br />Roseville Public Works and Transportation Commission <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Date: February 22, 2005 <br /> <br />Item No: 5 <br /> <br />Item Description: Transit Shelter Discussion <br /> <br />At their January work session, the City Council considered the Commission's recommendation <br />to move forward with Transtop of Mn. on the installation of transit shelters in the city. They <br />concurred with your recommendation and asked staff to move forward with a hearing on the <br />proposed sites and your approval of a shelter design. We will bring a granting ordinance to the <br />Council on March 14th if the Commission approves the potential sites and shelter design at the <br />February 22nd meeting. <br /> <br />We are attaching a map of28 proposed sites. Transtop is asking approval of these sites knowing <br />that some will not ultimately be suitable due to field conditions that may be discovered during <br />development. Their hopes are to install 20 shelters at this time. You previously established the <br />following criteria for shelter sites: <br /> <br />1. The site needed to be an existing Metro Transit bus stop <br />2. A clear line of sight needed to be maintained for vehicles <br />3. A clear line of sight needed to be maintained for transit users <br />4. Electric service must be available <br />5. The shelter needed to be set back from the curb at least 4 feet <br />6. The site must be visible for cross traffic <br />7. The location must have a commercial / industrial land use <br /> <br />Weare seeking your feedback based on these criteria. <br /> <br />We are also attaching shelter design information we have received from Transtop. They would <br />like to use the same style shelter they used in Minneapolis and St. Paul to standardize parts; but it <br />would be nice if the shelters were slightly different to identify that they are in Roseville, such as <br />adding our logo and/or a different color metal. <br /> <br />We have sent notice to all properties within 350' of each of the proposed sites regarding a <br />hearing before the Commission on February 22,2005. <br /> <br />Representatives from Transtop will be at the hearing to answer questions and present sample <br />proposed site plans. After hearing comment from the public, you may want to reaffirm your <br />acceptance or denial of certain sites. <br /> <br />Recommended Action: <br /> <br />Motion to approve desired shelter sites and shelter design. <br />
