Neighbours have requested that a bus shelter be provided for them along a road that is surrounded by hundreds of homes in Caversham.
Kidmore End Road is one of the main routes heading north and south in Emmer Green.
It is surrounded by homes and provides access to Emmer Green Recreation Ground and the White Horse and Black Horse pubs near its junction with Peppard Road.
Further up the road, construction companies are undertaking work on the 223-home Emmer Green Drive development, which is being built on Reading Golf Course.
A petition by neighbours is requesting that the southbound bus stop near Chalgrove Way be turned into a bus shelter.
Passengers currently have to stand at the stop, with a post providing timetables for the Reading Buses Berry 24 and route 80 buses.
A shelter would provide adequate protection from adverse weather and the elements.
The petition calling for a shelter to be installed has been signed by 22 people.
It is due to be considered by Reading Borough Council's traffic management sub-committee when it meets on Wednesday, June 10.
The northbound stop near the entrance to Emmer Green Drive does not have a shelter either, but does have a bench for people to sit down.
A report into the proposal has been written by James Clements, the council's transport programme manager and James Turner, senior transport planner.
They have recommended adding the proposal to a list of requests for bus shelters, which is prioritised according to need.
The report states it would cost £15,000.
