Operators back relocation idea; committee hears easy near-term fixes such as driver coordination
Summary
Smart shuttle operators reportedly agree the Mascot stop is hazardous; staff member James proposed an operational fix—drivers delay leaving previous stops until the next stop has room—to reduce double-bus blocking immediately.
Public comment included reports that Smart shuttle operators (identified by the commenter as Billy and Greg) consider the Mascot stop dangerous and support moving it. James, identified in the meeting as a participant who will follow up, proposed an immediate operational fix: have drivers use radios to hold departure from a previous stop until the next stop has space so buses do not double up and block intersections.
"They ... not start down Broadway from the previous stop until this stop has room," James said, suggesting the change could be implemented quickly through driver coordination and radios. Committee members noted this as an easily implementable step while the assembly reviews longer-term stop relocations and mapping.
