[Transit] SDOT makes changes to Route 40 major bus stop

[Wes Mills]

Well, I got fired up and needed something to distract me during this meeting, so I started on a letter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qCCMqasedVQFr-vPlOf_KlSV8WFrRN4gurDkloPqIQE/edit?usp=sharing

It’s very off-the-cuff so please be fierce in editing/with comments. :D

Specifically, they are planning to move the northbound stop for the 40 to be in front of the Lenin statue, quite a ways away from the other route stops closer to the main intersection. Thanks to Asher on Twitter for noticing and filling me in.
