Howard County, MD PLUS

Second report!!
The bench is not secured and screws are exposed

RTA 405 bus has a stop at the intersection of Carls CT and Walmart back road (channeling the traffic from the Walmart parking lot). When exiting our community, that Walmart traffic (on the right side) could not be seen because it is blocked by the bus, making this intersection dangerous. We do not have an alternate exit route, so every day is a gamble. Please, return this bus stop where it used to-in front of Walmart so it will be better used (nowadays, very few people use it) and our health and lives will be better protected.

Bus shelter trash can needs to be emptied on a regular basis. It has been two years since this has been an issue.

Unused eyesore pipes and junction box at former bus stop across Harpers Farm Rd from McDonalds . Can it please be removed?

Eyesore unused electrical framework at the Twin Rivers/Trumpeter/Interfaith bus stop. It is bent up, ugly, and apparently not in use Can it please be removed?

P.S. As someone else previously reported, the digital clock inside the shelter is far from correct.

The trash can at the bus shelter is overflowing and trash is littering the shelter, roadway, sidewalk right of way sod. Please schedule routine emptying of this trash can as this is a high traffic area and the trash piles up quickly.

Garbage can at this stop on west side of all saints has been overflowing for more than a week

Clocktower at Murray Hill bus shelter has been vandalized. The electrical supply has been bent and the wires are exposed.

So many bus stops in Howard County have nothing more that a sign sitting in the grass next to the road. Many don't even have an adjacent sidewalk. I can't count the number of times I've seen elderly people or moms with kids standing in the grass, in the rain and snow waiting for the bus.

As one of the richest counties in the Country I think we can afford a generous concrete pad and preferably a shelter at every stop. Many people don't have a choice but more people would use transit if it was safe, dry and convenient.
