What this means
The commission spent most of the meeting on how Columbia’s bus shelters should be redesigned. Members discussed smaller shelters for tighter spaces, better weather protection, wayfinding, seating, art, and ways to make shelters match nearby neighborhoods. They also heard that there is enough funding to replace existing shelters, though the exact amount for shelters is still being worked out. The meeting also approved Sarah Johnson as vice chair and Matt Wright as chair for another term. Staff said Go COMO is considering a temporary return to regular service levels if enough drivers are hired, with changes expected to start May 18 if plans hold.
