Bus shelter for Kanpur Road, Broadmeadows
- Wellington City Council
- More bus shelters are required in the Broadmeadows area. Currently there is only 1 bus stop with a shelter. I am particularly keen on one being installed outside 43 Kanpur Road where due to the driving nature of the weather in this area people gather under the eaves of the garage of 43 Kanpur Road. This stop also caters for a few different roads and is often busy.
