Councillor Kaschak inquires about advertising in bus shelters and how it covers up the whole shelter, and requests information related to safety , as well as being in the driver’s sight lines with the possibility of safety implications.

Tyson Cragg, Executive Director of Transit Windsor, appears before the Environment, Transportation and Public Safety Standing Committee via video conference regarding the administrative report entitled “Advertising Agreement between Transit Windsor and 1333988 Ontario Inc. o/a Streetseen Media – City Wide” and defers to Pat Delmore. Mr. Delmore indicates that the agreement in the report is specific to bus advertising and in-bus advertising; the bus shelters would be part of another agreement. Mr. Delmore indicates that the type of wraps that are used in the shelter are visible from the inside out and all shelters are solar lit. Mr. Delmore adds that this is standard with respect to advertising and their placement. Mr. Delmore also indicates that some shelters need to be clear with no advertising depending on placement; and current guidelines in advertising are used.
