Comments:

Update from the City of North Lauderdale: The City of North Lauderdale's first Complete Streets audit revealed (among other findings) a need to improve the comfort of transit patrons by providing bus shelters. The City is working with BCT to request a bus shelter at a bus stop to serve a new Wal-Mart at Avon Lane and McNab Rd.

Update from BCT: In 2016, BCT installed 52 new bus shelters and bike racks through its shelter expansion program, including one in North Lauderdale, which was part of a resurfacing project on Kimberly Blvd. At the end of the program in 2017, 668 new shelter will have been added.
