ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- St. Joseph City Councilmembers approved a $25,000 expenditure to buy land for a new transit bus shelter.

An ordinance authorizing the execution of a real estate sales contract with Goldenho LLC was passed at Monday's city council meeting.

A bus shelter currently sits to the east of EMI Ristorante. The new bus shelter will be located at 2001 and 2005 Fredrick Ave., just west of Lehr construction.

"We're going to move that bus shelter, that bus stop down the road a little bit," Public Works Director Abe Forney said. "It's a better location for the buses. It's easier to get in and out and and again, it'll be a nicer area."

The $25,000 will come from the city's mass transit fund budget.
