Call:
Tri County Council - Robin Briscoe 301-870-2520 and tell her. She is a county coordinator for the state and works closely with MTA and Keller's with the commuter bus service.
Also call MTA. 410-333-2354.
Don't bother calling Keller's. They can't help you. They can only listen to your suggestion, but they don't have any pull in getting lights put up. MTA & TCC can push to get that done.

*SUCKS* big time. I got there at 5:20 this morning - and couldn't find a spot near my bus stop. Did they not count the number of spots needed for the bus? I can't imagine what a pain it's gonna be if I had to take a later bus. I'd be walking a couple hundred yards.
Also - we're in the dark again. The road is slight curved, so the bus tilts to one side when I get on. I almost fell into my seat. And at least for now, there's no clear distinction of who's waiting for what bus, so when the bus arrives and you're at a stop where more than one bus loads, there's a few moments of mild pandemonium.
I hope they either pave that area near the trees - or allow some parking under the trees. Because if they don't, the businesses are STILL going to have people taking up their parking lot. There's just not enough space for them.
There is at least one advantage - for the buses. They have a much easier time getting in and out. Previously, I swear it looked like they were all at war with one another to get around.

The merchants do complain. The owner of the property has complained for years about threatening to take away the privileges he provides to the state to allow people to park there. At one time, I know the state was looking at the property at the corner of Rts 5 and 6, across from 84 Lumber, as a potential new parking lot. I don't know whatever happened with that...but apparently it's not going to happen since the owner of the shopping center went and paved that area in the back.
He does need to provide lighting back there. Or he needs to give MTA permission to purchase lighting if he doesn't want to pay for it.
It's ok. I didn't mind standing outside waiting for the busses in the middle of July, but I hated waiting outside waiting on mornings like today and colder. bbbbrrrrrrrrr.
