A retired city police officer is complaining about the bus shelter on Sydney Street by the Golden Ball building becoming a threat to public safety.
Robert Buck says the shelter is being used by drunks who have claimed it as theirs to the detriment of bus passengers.
In a letter to Common Council, Buck says Saint John Transit General Manager Frank McCarey is willing to replace the shelter with a newer one which would make it more difficult for the drunks to lie down in.
A presentation has been made to the Heritage Board and the wooden bench inside the bus shelter has been removed,
