The Broward County Commission voted unanimously to preserve Bus Route 23 with weekday peak service, 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The Community of Weston says: Thanks to the Weston City Commission for bringing our voice to the September 28th Broward County Commission Meeting!

At a public hearing held on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners voted to keep Bus Route 23, the only public transportation route provided to the City of Weston, which runs north and south along Weston Road.

A revised service schedule, provided by Broward County Transit, will go into effect on October 31, 2010 whereby Bus Route 23 will now operate under a 60 minute frequency, weekdays only from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. In addition, a minor change to the route will occur in that it will now travel along Dykes Road instead of I-75.

The City is currently constructing 14 bus stop shelters along Weston Road. The shelters are approximately 9 feet by 14 feet in size and are designed to give those waiting for the bus significant protection from South Florida’s sun and rain. Each shelter is equipped with a bench, waste receptacle, bicycle rack, and lighting. The shelters are designed to blend in aesthetically with the Weston surroundings while providing a safe environment for riders with visibility through the tempered glass on the rear and sides etched with the Weston “W”.

, La Comisión del Condado de Broward votó a favor de conservar la ruta 23 de Autobús-  En audiencia pública de Septiembre 28. Esta es la única ruta que cubre a la ciudad de Weston.

Una programación revisada de la ruta entrará en efecto el 31 de Octubre, 2010 donde la ruta operara cada 60 minutos de 6am a 10am y 3pm a 7pm. Lo mejor es que la ruta transitará por Dykes Road y no por la I75.

La ciudad está construyendo las 14 paradas en la Weston Rd con un área de 126 pies cuadrados diseñadas para proteger a las personas de sol y lluvia. Cada parada armoniza con  la ciudad y esta provista de un banco, papelera, porta-bicicletas  e iluminación. Además cada lado es de vidrio con el emblema de la “W” de Weston.
