It wasn't very long ago they shifted the walkway, planted plants and flower bearing ones too including many that creeps up the shelter. There was also a parking enforcement camera which was now removed. They have now dug this out and extending the walkway likely for a cycling portion. It is already an unsafe area to walk with many delivery rider zipping through. You can see the plants and the camera on the side after the bus stop. 🙄
