# Transit Commission Meeting - November 12, 2026

The Transit Commission meeting on November 12, 2026, focused on bus-stop amenities and capital planning. Members discussed a requested $10,000 capital-budget amendment for two benches, alongside $83,000 allocated for the Owen Road sidewalk project, which had been delayed and was expected to go out to bid. Staff estimated roughly $20,000 might remain available for benches after the project is bid. Public Works and Parks reportedly have two existing benches available for installation, likely at the civic campus; the commission will further assess locations and remaining funding. No procurement award or vote on the amendment was recorded. The only motion mentioned was to adjourn.

Members reviewed Metro ridership information and potential locations along Broadway and Monona Drive, and discussed amenity thresholds, development opportunities, environmental-justice considerations, and possible funding sources such as transportation funds, advertising, or grants. They also raised future opportunities to coordinate bus-stop improvements with redevelopment and street projects. The commission expected further comprehensive-plan information in the coming months.
