The executive director of The Gathering Place is shocked and disappointed with a decision by Metrobus to remove a bus shelter outside the facility.
The shelter has been the topic of discussion between The Gathering Place and Metrobus before, as concerns about litter was brought forward in September. An agreement was made to have staff clean and monitor the area on a daily basis.No complaints have been reported since the September meeting, leaving Davis shocked to hear of the decision.
Many guests use the bus to get to and from The Gathering Place, especially those who mainly avail of daytime services. Now, those people will be forced to wait outside without any protection from the elements. While Davis understands the shelters are only for those waiting for the bus, he’s concerned about those who have no choice but to take shelter there after hours or when the shelter is overcapacity.Ward 2 councillor Ophelia Ravencroft calls the decision “alarming.
While she is aware that there have been concerns with the condition of the shelter, but she has not received any recent complaints regarding the bus stop.
