Deskripsyon

When the old regular sized bus shelter was removed from the southeast corner of Bay and Wellington West it was replaced by a miniscule advertising kiosk in which maybe one person can fit but no one is protected from the elements in it. To add insult to injury the when one sits on the wee seat one's back is to the oncoming bus. We need a normal sized bus shelter (the sidewalk is big enough to accommodate one) that is enclosed on three and one half sides to give us protection and has a seat from which we can see the bus approaching. Those of us who need the seat can't move that fast to get to the bus stop when we do see the bus.
Thank you for your help.

Nothing has happened with this and I can't see that anyone has actually looked into it. It needs fixing immediately please.
Thank you, B

I don't see what the problem is. I watched the construction crew carefully take down this lovely new shelter that we had & put it carefully on a truck, when they were working there. That work has been completed for a long time now. Why can't they just return it the same way & carefully put the same pieces, carefully together again?

Sorry, my above comment was referring to the Bus Shelter at The Esplanade & Market St. I just read in the Star that they cost $25,000 ea of taxpayer's money. Well, this one at the location I'm talking about, was there, taken away & should be replaced . . . at no further cost!

The taxpayer does not pay for them, Astral Media does. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/fixer/article/1317645--the-fixer-taxpayers-don-t-pay-for-transit-shelters-but-the-city-earns-cash-from-them

There is a separate Report on the Esplanade/Market shelter but the 'bottom line' is that Hydro are about to instlll new steeet lighting and the sidewalks etc on The Esplanade will all be totally fixed in late summer 2013; the shelter will not be back until then. Its concrete base was destroyed so it can't simply be reinstalled exactly where it was.

You may want to read the Fixer report (see link above) on these small shelters. According to this column the existing small shelters will NOT be replaced. I am thus closing this issue.

The sidewalk here is huge. If they can't replace this advertising kiosk here with a proper sized one, then there is no place the proper sized one will fit and they may as well not have it all. Not only is it too small but the seat faces the wrong way. The only reason I can think of that they won't replace it is because they are too ashamed of themselves to admit they were incompentent when they installed it in the first place. By keeping it and not replacing it they are just proving their incompetence and stupidity. It makes no sense to me that someone would want to have a reminder of their inability to do the job properly always there. A good employee takes responsibility for mistakes and corrects them. These people obviously have no desire to feel good about their work and just want to take their money and run. Very sad indeed.
