MEMORANDUM
TO: The Historic Districts Commission DATE: May 26, 1982 PAGE: 1
SUBJECT: LEXPRESS stop at
Deopt Square
e
I am coming before your committee to informally request some input on improvements
at Depot Square. Currently flexible fiberglass posts are being used to separate
the bus stop from the flow of traffic. Unfortunately the posts are repeatedly
removed and /or destroyed. This results in a safety hazard which must be addressed
Immediately.
I am presently considering a wood structure that would be more substantial and,
in my opinion, more attractive. Attached is some material showing wood guide
posts and rails. In may be possible to use just the posts to eliminate sitting
on the rails. Another suggestion is to use peices of telephone poles, with a
bevelled top to discourage sitting. Your opinions on these ideas would be
appreciated, or perhaps you will have an alternative suggestion.
I would like to remind you that this is a safety issue which must be corrected
as soon as possible. Further, any costs involved must come out of our current
budget, FY 82. 'Thus, purchase arrangements must be made prior to June 30, 1982.
