Bus Stop Improvement Project cancelled over $9.6M deficit
Montebello
Summary
The citywide bus stop upgrade project — new shelters, benches, ADA improvements at up to 100 stops — was cancelled because the construction estimate hit $12.3 million against a $2.7 million budget. Staff plans a peer review of the numbers and will hunt for grants before bringing back a reworked version. Nothing gets built for now.

Impact analysis
$2.7 million in federal and local transit funds stays preserved, but riders wait longer for better stops.
Transit riders eventually get a better-planned, realistically funded project instead of a half-built one.
Bus riders whose stops stay without shelters, shade, or ADA improvements while the project resets.
