We all know that there is no sidewalk on the east side of Wellington Street south of Rosevear Boulevard. As a result, the bus stop used by people living at 45 Wellington Street and in nearby apartments required people using the Town Bus to stand on the road itself when getting on and getting off. This is a problem, winter and summer, both for seniors living at 45 Wellington Street, and for young parents living in nearby apartments who have small children in hand or in strollers.
Karen Polley is a regular user of the Town Bus. She wondered whether the bus stop could be moved a bit farther up Wellington Street. She thought that a better place for the stop was at the short paved walkway leading from the street to the building at 45 Wellington.
Karen called the Mayor's office to explain the problem and make her suggestion. She was given another town number to call with her suggestion. She called the 2nd number, explained the problem, and asked that the bus stop be moved.
Very shortly after (Guess What?) the bus stop was moved. The photo below shows a young bus rider waiting at the new bus stop:
Thanks to Town Staff, who realized Karen's suggestion was a good one and moved the stop.
And thanks to Karen for thinking of the suggestion and for making it, too.
