Description

This is a busy bus stop in front of Popeye's the gas station on Whalley. There are usually a lot of people waiting for the bus here, but there are no benches and no covering for bad weather. It's just a sidewalk that depressingly abuts one random residential building (don't know if it's occupied or not) and the dumpster of the gas station. Some people make makeshift seats out of boxes and crates but it looks uncomfortable. I am an architect living nearby and wish I had the opportunity to design some seating, landscaping, and a covered shelter here. The bus riders should have a nicer spot to sit and wait.
