Grande Prairie City Transit has completed the installation of two brand-new heated bus stop shelters at the Transit Hub near Towne Centre Mall.
The project was completed on September 17th and officials suggest the new shelters, along with existing heated shelters at NWP and the Community Knowledge Campus will provide transit customers with additional comfort and protection when travelling in the winter months. Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton adds the new shelters are a “welcome addition” to the city’s infrastructure.
“In our cold climate, these shelters offer a safe, warm space for riders as they wait for their bus, supporting a safe, inclusive, and caring community with supports for all,” she says.
The new shelters are fully enclosed and were designed with a variety of mobility needs in mind to provide a sense of comfort and security for all users.
The shelters are also equipped with automatic door openers, a purposeful feature that will allow the city to lock them during off hours.
