Motueka bus shelter upcycled and upgraded

The upgrade of the bus stop on Wallace Street in Motueka has been a serious case of upcycling.

Over the past few months, we’ve moved the site of the bus stop, widened the footpath and installed a new shelter to give waiting passengers a bit of protection from the weather.

But calling it a new bus shelter isn’t quite right because it’s really a large recycling job.

We’ve repurposed a shelter that used to be on Queen Street in Richmond outside the Police Station.

That shelter was pulled down and put into storage a few years ago when bus stops in Richmond were reconfigured, and we’ve now brought it back to life in Motueka.
