Your letter requested that Metro Transit talce the responsibility for <br />placing trash cans near the two transit shelters and servicing them daily. Alternatively, you suggested that <br />Metro Transit pern�it T�-ansto� to place its shelters at these locations. <br />Metro Transit installed tlle ADA compliant bus stops and shelters and has continued to maintain them with <br />the exception of the trash cans and frequent collection, a City of Roseville initiative. Unfortunately, Metro <br />Transit is not in a position to provide trash colleciior� at its more thanl6,Od0 bus stops and 850 shelters region <br />wide. <br />The City of Roseville recently entered into contract with Transtop to provide shelters at numerous locations <br />within the city. Although Trans#op requested that Metro Transit release the two sites in question, Metro <br />Transit declined due to recently completed ADA improvements at the site. However, if the City of Roseville <br />considers the placement of Transtop shelters at these two locations a matter of importance and an upgrade to <br />the service provided to its residents, Metro Transit will release tlae sites to Transtop. <br />Metro Transit has enjoyed significant mass f�-ansii support from the city and loolcs forward to worlcing with <br />the city to ensure the greatest benefits for it's passengers and Roseville residents. <br />Sincerely, <br />�� � � <br />J�".�� �'�'� <br />Peter Bell <br />Chair, Metropolitan Council <br />[Note copies of CM Kough's letter were issued as follows:) <br />cc: Governor '�'iin Pawleniy <br />Lt.
