SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, Fla. — A Hillsborough County bus stop is causing many to fear for their lives, and a Spectrum Bay News 9 viewer stepped in and took action.

Beverly Olson and her husband, Olaf, have lived in Seminole Heights for about a dozen years.

"We have an assisted living facility where there are a lot of elderly such as myself," Olson said. "Across the street is a large housing development and a lot of people have to walk up and down here, to the corner."

Many of those folks grab the bus on the corner of 22nd Street and Hanna Avenue, and for 11 years Beverly has feared for their safety.

"I've watched, just recently one man in a power chair come off the bus right over there, heading on the northbound side of 22nd, drop down into the grass and down in the street right around the corner and you cringe," Olson said.

She empathizes for those using power chairs, walkers and canes who have to navigate her side of the street. With no sidewalks, many take their chances in the road with traffic.

It all changed for her when Olaf's doctor said he should be in a power chair.  

"After Olaf having 15 surgeries at the VA in the past nine years, now he's in a power chair. I'm praying at the door as he goes out here," Beverly said.

She even made a "caution wheelchair" sign and would walk out ahead of her husband to make sure drivers paid attention.

She also started calling the city. What she wanted was for someone to see the dangers she saw every day.

"I made the call,” she said. "If it happened it happened, but if it didn't, at least I tried.”

Last week, crews showed up and teams from both HART and the city started work on a new, disabled-friendly bus stop and a sidewalk stretching from 22nd Street to 24th Street.

Beverly wanted to specifically thank a young lady named Whitney, who she believes escalated her issue to city engineers.

Sher said her next mission is whatever she can do to help.
