English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.
The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Improve seating, lighting, recyling/waste disposal, and weather protection at MBTA stops. Several bus stops were recently moved along Morton St and the new stops have no protection.
Who it helps and why
Safer transit experience through predominantly Black/Brown communities, for groups that predominantly rely on MBTA for work, school, etc.
