Deplorable Conditions in our Break Rooms (Steve Fung)

These photos were taken in the Sunset Transit Center, but all of our break areas need a thorough cleaning and some paint.

Station Manager Greg Larson promises action on the conditions at this break room:
You are absolutely right about the break room at Sunset. I met with a facilities person recently at the breakroom to put together a proposal to improve the conditions there.
I am suggesting a cleanable wainscoting be applied to all the walls including in the restrooms. Paint the rest of the walls and ceilings and strip the floor and rewax. New chairs and two “lounge” type chairs as well.
I’ve been asking for something to be done there for quite awhile but I think action is finally on the horizon.

Re: Sunset Transit Center Breakroom
Proposed Refurbish Project

Thank you for meeting with me at Sunset TC to evaluate what is needed to refurbish the Operator break room.

My proposal is as follows:

• Install wainscoting on all walls of a cleanable and decorative material. Height should be at least five feet.
• Paint the remaining wall and ceiling surfaces
• Strip existing floor tile and re-wax
• Purchase four chairs to be placed around the existing table. (Standard blue chairs)
• Purchase two vinyl (cleanable) comfortable lounge chairs for against the wall.
• Purchase and install attractive shelving for various articles.

It appears this room is long overdue for renovation. Such renovation would boost morale for those Operators that spend any amount of time there.

Thank You,
