Council approves six bus shelters using Measure D funds to match ICTC order
Loading...
Summary
Council approved purchasing six transit shelters to be installed along Imperial Avenue, matching a regional ICTC order; funding was designated from Measure D and the shelters will be phased with ICTC installations so designs match.
The council authorized procurement of six bus shelters to improve transit stops on Imperial Avenue, using Measure D (local transportation) funds to leverage leftover regional funding and achieve a favorable unit price.
Abraham Campos told the council a regional ICTC procurement had already gone to bid and that the city can purchase additional shelters of the same design to create a consistent look. He said leftover regional money and Measure D would reduce the city's cost and that lead times are expected to be roughly 20 weeks after order placement. Council approved six shelters located near the hospital and DMV and designated Measure D as the funding source.
Staff noted installation will require city staff time and coordination; councilmembers discussed phasing additional shelters over future years as funds and staff capacity permit.
