BUS SHELTER AND BENCH SERVICES
Ms. Teri Cable, Administrative Services Manager, Public Works Agency,
and Will Hayes, Public Works Agency, gave an overview of the Bus
Shelter and Bus Bench program, and detailed the provisions of a
proposed agreement with Eller Media Company to provide bus stop
shelters and non -advertising bus benches throughout the City for a ten
year period. Mr. Hayes gave an overview of the purpose of the bus
shelter program and outlined the benefits of an exclusive agreement
including the following:
City determines the bus shelter and bus bench locations
• City determines restrictions on certain types of advertisements
Improved appearance of the right-of-way by prohibiting advertising
on bus benches and providing new shelters and benches
• City has choice of shelter and bench design
Free advertising space provided for public service announcements
• City has tighter control and oversight of maintenance
Mr. Hayes also noted that installation of the shelters and benches would
begin sixty days from design and color approval by the City; installation
would be completed in approximately six months. The term of the
proposed agreement is ten years and the shelters and benches are to be
refinished under the terms in the agreement in years seven and eight.
At the end of the agreement, the shelters and benches become City
property, and the City will receive a ten-year compensation in the amount
of $5, 265, 600.
