The project will provide more room for pedestrians and include shelters, <br /> benches,trash receptacles and bike racks. The funding for this project expires July 1, 2019. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Authorize Call for Bids for Construction of the North Broadway Bus Safety Project. <br /> 25 <br />
