Questions On Removed Bus Stop - Whalan Shops Bus Stop 2770149

Here is an e-mail from a commuter who still has issues with Bus Stop Number 2770149, I have referred this to Councillor Jacqueline Donaldson to find out from Blacktown City Council:

Hi to all,
Can somebody please find out why the Bulolo Drive bus stop that was originally near Banaro Avenue has been changed to outside Whalan Shops.
I was told that the reason they took down the bus shelter at the old bus stop was for safety reasons.  If that is the case why was it moved to it's present position.
Why don't they just use the original site and erect a "see through" bus shelter.
The new stop at the shops is in a very strange place - the buses have to drive over a speed hump and the turn straight in to the bus stop and if the bus is travelling at even a little bit of speed it makes it quite dangerous for anyone alighting from the bus, especially the older generation.
Also there is no concrete to step onto only dirt  and when it rains it is extremely muddy and slippery.
Can we please find out why we can't have the original stop back.
Regards
Carol
