"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.
It's probably worth developing a rotating set of promotional messages for use in bus stop signage.

I am an urban/commercial district revitalization and transportation/mobility advocate and consultant. I was a principal in BicyclePASS, a bicycle facilities systems integration firm, based in Washington, DC. Now I'm in Salt Lake City for family reasons. Urban economic competitiveness is dependent on efficient transit and mixed use, compact places. Therefore, I end up writing a lot about mobility and urban design. I still own a house in DC, so I write a lot about Washington, DC issues. I try to write so that "universal lessons" are evident in the entries, regardless of the place.

And one wonders weather they inspect the tracks and equipment as diligently.
Good point about priorities... then again, they have people in the bus division presumably assigned to deal with this stuff.
... I know that the schedule info at the bus stop that Suzanne regularly uses hasn't been updated for 10 years, even though the bus line had a major change in schedule not quite two years ago.
In Arlington, the County transportation unit takes the lead on updating this information.
... and I was surprised to see a press release for the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus about real time screens being added to a bunch of its bus stops, because many of the stops are in LA, although also used by the BBB system.
... showing that it's about the system and maximizing the system for the benefit of the rider, not about the place where the stop/shelter is located.
