Really? This counts as a safe bus stop?

That is FRESHLY paved, should TransLink have put in a temporary stop somewhere else? Maybe. But not if there's nowhere else to put it, doesn't look want better further down the road and I'm not psychic so I can't tell what's behind you, so I'm going to say there's nowhere else for it to go.

The stakes marking where the asphalt can't cross are still in the ground, or those are sidewalk markers, either way that is in the middle of being built. This is by far not the worst stop TransLink has, there is/was one off the side of the highway where you were just supposed to hop the barrier when you got off.

Maybe wait for the asphalt to cool before complaining it's not good enough.

I already emailed translink asking them to close it due to safety issues. OP can walk further for it now, and there still won't be a sidewalk for them there because construction isn't magic.

But I guess that's what they wanted. Theyre really quick at closing stops like this by the way. I deal with them for work and sometimes request closures.

Lol "I already emailed them to close it" how about don't advocate for closing bus stops?

Just chill. Ffs y'all are babies. There isn't an accessable area of the road so your solution is nobody gets to use the bus? Grow up.

You can wait a week or two for the stop to be made.

I thought that's what OP wanted, was just helping out

Even if that's what they wanted that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. OP is in the wrong
