At our regularly scheduled PPCC meeting on October 27th, we heard from Gene Oh, the founder of Tranzito Vector, the company that has been contracted by the City of LA to rebuild transit bus shelters across the city, per the city's Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP). We received an informative and candid presentation which left the board with some questions and some assurances, as well as the promise of collaborative dialogue before anything is implemented in the Palisades. 

The board was not impressed with the proposed design of the new bus shelters, but are still learning how many will be placed in Pacific Palisades and what specs can be adjusted for our community's needs and preferences. We understand that the new transit shelters will be prioritized for high transit ridership areas. We have been given assurances that digital advertising will not be posted on the shelters in our community, and that any electronic component will be for information purposes only (such as route timings and bus information).

We intend to reach out to City STAP and our new Councilmember to insure a good fit for any bus or transit shelters planned for the Palisades, and have asked Tranzito Vector to come back if need be. Look for more information as we receive it.

Senior Lead Officer, LAPD, Brian Espin, reported that the Palisades is trending lower on crime but there has been a recent uptick. Being vigilant is a deterrent, he said and being neighborly can also discourage would be wrongdoers from targeting a neighborhood.
