Bus shelters could be coming to a stop near residents in Montgomery County.
The county are working on a project that in its first year could install 10 to 20 shelters along county roads, where currently 314 of 338 bus stops do not have shelters.
The shelters would be built and maintained by a private company in exchange for revenue from advertising on the shelters, according to a "request for information" that the county sought from vendors over the past month. The RFI closed Monday.
"The exact number of shelters that the contractor will install has yet to be determined. Initially, the County was looking at installing 10-20 as a pilot project," according to the RFI. "However, this will depend on a future RFP, the contractor chosen, as well as the length of the contract."
After the county reviews the requests for information submitted from April through Monday -- when the application period closed -- formal proposal requests to private companies could be issued.
According to the county RFI, here are some county thoroughfares and the average daily traffic on each of the roads:
