Shelter
(continued from page 9) Turnpike and Old Station Lane adjacent to the Gulf station. Kelly reported at that time that a review of the topographical survey of this intersection indicated that there is sufficient area within the township’s rightof-way to install a bus shelter either in the planting area at this location or in the paved area. He further advised that the existing landscaping in the township’s right-of-way could be removed and he recommended that curbing be installed to provide protection for people who use the bus shelter. According to Kelly, the recommended location of the bus shelter will not cause the loss of any parking spaces and a handicapped parking space could be located there to provide easy access to a bus. He also told the council the bus shelter will not interfere with the operation of the service station, and no additional easements are required. The bus shelter will be installed at no cost to the township, according to Kelly, and once the shelter has been installed it will become the property of the township and the township will be required to provide the maintenance.
