Bus service to Heatherwood may be discontinued in fall
By Barbara Shear Staff writer
Tenants at the Heatherwood Valley Apartments might have to look for another means of transportation.
Apartments might have to go back valley for another means of transportation. Bus service to the complex may be discontinued next year because of complaints from the owners, Meridian Properties, about the destruction of the parking lot from the buses, Tim Boler, transportation coordinator, said yesterday.
"The Kansas City office requested that no more routes go through the parking lot because it was tearing up the parking lot," Boler said. "The Kansas City office doesn't know there will be no bus. I hope they realize this and change their decision."
A final decision about continuation of the bus route will be made at the next Transportation Board meeting in two weeks. Boller said a definite decision would be made then because the board had to decide the bus schedules for next year.
"We don't have the luxury of waiting to see if ridership falls," Boller said.
Boller said several other apartment complexes had expressed an interest in being on the bus route and did not care if the bus traveled through the parking lot.
Some of the other complexes and tenants that expressed interest were from Wood Creek Townhomes, 255 N. Michigan St., Apple Lane Place Apartments, 1408 Apple Lane, and the Haskell Indian Junior College area.
If bus service is discontinued to Heatherwood, it will affect about 700 riders. Boller说 the route also serviced people at Peppertree Apartments, 3100 W. 23nd St., Crestline Road, and Oliver Hall.
Apartment complex parking lots usually are resurfaced every five years. Boller said he had seen the parking lot and did not think it was in poor shape.
The estimated cost of resurfacing a
parking lot is $3,000-$4,000. However,
the bus route to Heatherwood costs
the bus company around $43,000.
That is the cost for any route, Boller said.
Meridian Properties became aware of the problem when complaints from tenants and the manager, Joe Jerome, brought it to the attention of the regional manager.
Jerome said even though the parking lot had not been resurfaced since the complex had been built seven years ago, he thought the problems were caused by the buses.
"We kept up with cracks from natural causes," he said. "But we never had to totally resurface. There are certain spots torn up where the buses don't go, but there is no doubt in my mind it is the buses.
"The buses travel through the parking lot two times each hour and a dump truck comes by twice a week. The parking lot was not built to withstand something like that."
