Background
In 2014, the company providing the benches in Arvada ceased being in the bus bench business and removed 153 bus benches from stops throughout the community.
City Manager Mark Deven looked for a solution. “We do not want to get into the bus bench business, but we are concerned for bus patrons, particularly the elderly or disabled." As an interim solution, the City installed old park benches at some of the community’s stops, while reaching out to the private sector to identify a new company to provide the service.
In 2015, the Arvada City Council approved an agreement with Creative Outdoor Advertising of America Inc. for the installation and maintenance of bus benches.
