Reduce the 4 delineators to 3 at the east end of the bus stop to provide SuperShuttle an easier egress into their loading zone. 2. Obtain additional input from Veolia on removing some of the gore area west of the bus stop to allow for a minimum of 4 buses to stack. 3. Obtain additional input from Veolia on filling in the ADA curb cut directly across from the crosswalk. We would also need to have Norbert review to make sure we are still ADA compliant if this is the direction we would like to go.
