After reading reporter Brandi Potts’ piece about Student Association campus projects, I urge SA President Dylan Lustig to start a petition drive and initiative to get Centro bus shelters at University Place and College Place, located at the corner of Watson Wall; Westcott and Dell streets at the Papa John’s Pizza corner; and Westcott and Euclid streets at the Graby’s Mini Mart corner.

It’s insane to have scores of students and workers standing in the rain and snow at these busy Centro bus stops.

In 2005, after a petition drive led by Christine Smith, a 2007 SU alumna and my mentee, SU installed the Centro bus shelter between E.S. Bird Library and the Schine Student Center on University Place, but it should be in front of Schine so that riders can wait inside Schine in bad weather.

It’s long overdue for students to come in and out of the Centro rain and snow.
