EXHIBIT A The city has made a commitment to maintain clean, safe and comfortable bus stops for its transit users. Several of the City’s bus stops have shelters, benches and trash receptacles that may have varying needs for repair and maintenance throughout the year that may also cause safety issues/hazards for the public if not repaired. The City’s goal is to refurbish a portion of the shelter and transit furniture sites annually. Monthly each bus stop is check for hazards and damage. Hazardous issues are repaired immediately. Annually each bus stop is evaluated for its overall condition and ranked 1 to 4. All bus stops that fall in the 4 categories are bus stops that need repairs. Repairs may be issues that are urgently needed to prevent a hazard to the public or to prevent costly repairs in the future. On average every bus shelter and all furniture is refurbished every 6 and 8 years. In addition to the annual evaluations of each bus stop needing repairs there are 6 to 10 bus stops, shelters and furniture that are damaged by vehicular accidents each year. Our recent annual evaluation shows 8 shelters that are in need refurbishment/repaired. Please see the list below of the 8 locations in need of refurbishment/repair. Locations are identified throughout the valley including Glendale as follows.
