Background/Objective:
- The objective of the new transit amenity program is to improve the city’s streetscape and improve existing bus stop amenities. It will permit private vendors to install new advertising shelters, kiosks and city standard benches at bus stops.
- Less appealing advertising benches will be removed when other amenities are available for those locations.
-
-
-
- For each shelter and kiosk a vendor installs, they will be required to install a certain number of city standard benches at different bus stop locations.
-
Source/Authority:
- Ordinance No. 466, Series of 2001 authorizes bus shelters and kiosks bearing advertising in the public right of way, adopted by council in June 2001.
- Rules and Regulations for Bus Bench, Shelter and Kiosk Permitting were approved by the Manager of Public Works in June 2001. Please view the procedures for the issuance of Revocable Permits for advertising benches and the installation of City standard benches, bus shelters and kiosks bearing advertising on the public right-of-way at this link Rules and Regulations
- No city funding is needed for this program. Private vendors fund the purchase of the amenities as well as site improvements, including concrete pads at the stop if no pad exists, and regular maintenance.
- Permits are required of any vendor and/or organization that installs an amenity at a bus stop (this includes RTD). These are annual, revocable permits. More on the permitting process can be found at: Right of Way Permit Operations
