Township Council, at its meating on February 10th, passed the following motion:

That the Township request that B.C. Transit initiate an "After Dark Policy”

whereby a passenger can request "after sunset" he or she be allowad off the

bus at any point along the route that would minimize the walking distance

between the point of leaving the bus and his/her ultimate destination. At the

present time the bus driver can only stop at a designated bus stop. Not
infrequently, tha passenger must walk back two or three blocks or walk forward

two or three blocks from the bus stop. This policy change would negate that
walk on what could weil be a dark and deserted street. It goes without saying

that in making this "unscheduled stop” the safe operation of the bus and the
safety of the passenger in leaving the bus shail be maintained at all times.

in passing the motion, Council believes that assistance from B.C. Transit to locate people
claser to their destination during darkness will help alleviate potential or possible crimes.
Council has asked that other Council's in the Lower Mainland endorse the resolution and also

request B.C. Transit to initlate the After Dark. Bus Stop Policy.

Yours truly,

Rod Edwards
Municipal Clerk
