LB PCH Transit Measures Up






Homer says to reduce Laguna's auto congestion give commuters an alternative to the automobile, build the infrastructure to offer travelers better options.  Here is a transit stop in Newport Beach (corrected).

Here is the transit stop in Laguna, Beverly at PCH





Modern transit stops provide seating, shelter from the elements is obligatory and offer commuters transit route and schedule information.

This is transit Laguna style on-the-cheap, no seating no shelter and a complementary morning bath when the bus arrives. A planter box a palm tree and a transit sign all share the passenger sidewalk. What was the vision that supported this design?  What prohibited Laguna from implementing designs equal to the standards set by our neighboring towns?
