Shade structures at Metropolitan Hill bus stops

Resident asks for sun shades at unshaded MBTA bus stops in the Met Hill area, especially after tree removal, to help riders as the area gets warmer.

English title and summary written with AI from the resident's text.

The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Creation of sun-shades of some kind for MBTA stops in the Met Hill area. Outside of Poplar down in the Village, most of these stops are not shaded at all espc with recent tree removal activities.

Who it helps and why

Many of our local residents take the bus for work, recreation, etc. Sun-shades will benefit everyone as the area becomes warmer, but especially social and racial demographics who are more likely to utilize the bus system (ex., the elderly.)
