Help us scout out the location for community-built bus stop benches. The City of Durham has been working hard on bus shelter improvement, and we want to supplement their efforts in honor of Transit Equity Day with an interim solution: a community-built bus stop! We will be identifying candidate bus stops currently lacking infrastructure based on need (clearance for bench, firm and level ground, proximity to traffic, etc.)
There are lots of ways to plug into this community initiative:
VOLUNTEER for the Jan 17th bus stop audit (identifying bus stop to receive bench):
VOLUNTEER for the Jan 19th build session (prepping bench for build):
ATTEND the Jan 26th Community Meeting for bench build (as a community!):
