Bakersfield Man Calls for 'Common Sense' After City Installs $50K Bus Stop With No Shade in 110-Degree Heat
My tax dollars hard at work? I saw this new bus stop downtown today with a fancy high-tech sign but not a single piece of shade anywhere. It's 110 degrees out here in Bakersfield, and our city planners think a metal pole is 'amenities'? Use some common sense—put up a tarp, plant a tree, or don't even bother. My grandma has to stand there waiting for the 61 bus, and I'm honestly embarrassed for this town.
