Jerry Evans, 72, would watch as kids and moms waited for the city bus in front of his home on a tiny strip of sidewalk in front of his Brooklyn Center home on Brooklyn Boulevard, a street known for its busy traffic. He couldn’t believe how dangerous it was to be so close to cars whizzing by, so Evans, a retired landscape designer, built a bus stop for the public on his front lawn, which included benches, a retaining wall and landscaping.
This past October, Evans was nominated and chosen for Brooklyn Center’s Random Act of Kindness award because of his creation of the bus stop.
“Thanks to Jerry’s kind and generous gift of his time, talent and treasures, those who catch the bus in front of his house have an attractive, safe place to sit while waiting for the bus,” said City Council member Lin Myszkowski, who nominated Evans after noticing the bus stop.
