Park West & Cherry Orchard Station moves from 28th July

The bus stop(s) could be moved 30-50m south. As it is, their location encourages pedestrians to cross just after the crest of the bridge.

A pedestrian or zebra crossing (the lack of which I highlighted in my first post) closer to the top of the bridge could fulfill the same purpose without the need to reengineer existing bus stops which would require one or more of the following to be done...

1. the footpath on the eastern side of the road (opposite side from station) to be narrowed to virtually non existant to allow for a bus stop bay
2. the road alignment to be shifted westwards to allow sufficient room for a bus stop bay and footpath on the eastern side of the road
3. The bridge to be widened on the eastern side to allow room for a bus stop bay and footpath on the eastern side of the road
4. The bus to stop out on the road in the flow of traffic, without a bay to pull into but on top of the bridge. This would inevitably lead to other traffic attempting to overtake busses stopped at the bus stop with restricted view of oncoming traffic due to being below the crest of the hill and compounded by the presence of a bus at the stop.

Maybe you have a better suggestion to allow for a bus stop on the top of the bridge on the eastern side of the road?
