Alteration of a transit stop
Alteration of a transit stop means a change to or an addition of a transit stop, or a part thereof, in an existing, developed public right-of-way that affects or could affect pedestrian access, circulation, or usability. Alterations include, but are not limited to, the reconstruction of an existing transit stop, the addition of a new transit shelter, the addition of a new bench, fare vending machine, or transit sign that identifies a stop or route, reconfiguring the interface of a transit stop with the street or sidewalk network such as adding floating bus stops, adding a prepared surface for boarding and alighting, and rearrangement of transit stop elements, such as benches or fare vending machines. Normal maintenance such as painting transit shelters, replacing damaged transit shelter windows or screens, repairing a fare vending machine, replacing damaged sign posts, repairing existing curb, or repairing damaged benches or trash cans, are not alterations unless they affect the usability of the transit stop. Permanent closure of a transit stop due to service changes is also not an alteration of a transit stop.
