Board approves painting extra curb space to protect new METS bus shelter at Aurora Center
Summary
METS Transit director Jonathan Sebeke requested the board approve extending the no-parking paint five feet beyond the municipal code allowance to protect a new bus shelter; the board approved the extension and directed staff to implement markings.
Jonathan Sebeke, director of METS Transit, told the Board of Public Safety that Leadership Evansville had donated a concrete pad and a bus shelter in front of the Aurora Center. The shelter and sign are 55 feet from the curb, and municipal code allows paint for 50 feet from the curb; Sebeke requested the board approve painting an extra five feet to discourage parking in front of the stop.
A board member who visited the site said he agreed with the request and moved for approval; the board approved the extension by voice vote. City staff said the bus stop sign already carries a no-parking emblem, and the paint is intended as visual reinforcement for motorists who otherwise park in the space.
Ending: The transportation department will add yellow curb paint to protect the new METS bus shelter and the city will proceed with the approved marking.
