We at First Interstate Banc have gone out of our way to cooperate in a reasonable manner with the Building Department with regard to our remodel at the Evergreen Way Branch. This has included major improvements that benefits the cammmty and the bank at the intersection of 75th and Evergreen Way. At the time of permit application, we brought up the subject of the existing bus shelter located at Evergreen Way. We are concerned that this location creates a hazardous condition at a very busy intersection. our request at the time was to have the bus stop moved further southward toward the middle of the block where it would not cause a visibility problem for traffic on our site or 75th. That request was denied. Mr. Dennis Gableman, your building inspector, has now requested that we move the bus shelter from its original location a few feet further south. We strongly oppose this request as it further compounds the hazardous conditions it currently presents. Moving it south a few feet would further restrict the visibility for traffic trying to exit onto Evergreen Way from our site. Further, through our extensive experience with drive -up traffic at numerous locations, that move would most certainly expose it to continual damage by customer traffic at our drive -up. This would endanger anyone trying to use this shelter. The more weather dictates the need for cover the greater the risk due to reduced visibility for drivers trying to avoid that structure. We would like to again request that this bus shelter be moved substantially south of our location to reduce the hazard to both bus stop users and bank customers. A possible location would be the temporary location that was used during construction. This location is approximately 250 feet further south. If this is not possible, then we want to make it clear that any moving and subsequent damage repairs and claims would be the sole responsibility of the City of Everett.
