2017 AARP Community Challenge Grantee
Project Category
Transportation
A trash-strewn bus stop was cleaned up and then made more appealing and usable by the addition of landscaping, a bench and bus information signage.
Project Results
While it’s true that older people often need to take a break when they’re out and about, so do toddlers, pregnant women, people who are on their feet all day, anyone wearing uncomfortable shoes. The list goes on. Several dozen older adults and people with disabilities live across the street from the bus stop shown in the before-and-after images. Also nearby is a housing complex where many young families live. AARP grant funding helped clear weeds and trash from a bus stop with no seating and install a bench and landscaping.
