At an Otago Regional Council committee meeting yesterday, public transport team leader Julian Phillips said depending on how consultation went, it hoped to solve the issue at the Moray Pl stop in a "matter of weeks".
The stop is around the corner from the Great King St bus hub and is used by companies Intercity and Atomic.
Waiting passengers are seen daily standing or sitting on the ground while blocking the footpath and are exposed to the elements because there is no seating or shelter at the stop.
Mr Phillips said the council had two surplus shelters which were out of use and could be used at the site.
He, Dunedin City Council staff and Dunedin resident Anne Marie Parsons, who has been pushing for the change, visited the stop on Monday, he said.
As the shelter had to be installed against the walls of Countdown, the project would involve consultation with the company.
Both councils were also revisiting the lack of shelter at the bus hub stop outside the Dunedin Community House.
Initially the decision was made to not install a shelter there because of the impact on "heritage values" of the building.
The council would revisit this with city council heritage staff, although there was no timeline at this stage of when the work might happen, he said.
Cr Andrew Noone asked whether there was a council policy which dictated which stops had seats.
Mr Phillips said there was not, but it was something its policy team was working on.
The bus hub stop outside the Dunedin Central Police Station has seating but no shelter.
Mr Phillips was unavailable yesterday afternoon to answer questions about whether there were plans for this stop.
