Not to be a nitpick, but it's actually called the Crosstown BRT, but yeah, pretty cool looking stops. I just hope they don't get vandalized.

FWIW Daemon, they're not stations but rather stops. Part of the 16th Ave BRT project.

I'm liking the artwork they're putting into the stops. Again, let's hope they don't get vandalized.

BTW, you're new camera, is doing a good job. Keep up the good work.

I like what I see so far. As others have mentioned, my biggest worry is how much vandalism they'll suffer.

It sucks that people even need to worry about it. The laws aren’t stiff enough in this country, so don’t be surprised if it dies get vandalized.

Are those bus benches for children - or very small adults - or both???
They look very small in the pics of the new bus stops.

Great pics Daemon, congrats on the new camera.

Glass will be shattered. Glass will be replaced. Just like every bus shelter that has come before it.

Daemon is a camera?

I feel like regardless of laws no one is really ever caught. You would think the state of tech would allow cameras or something without being crazy expensive.

That would be great. Counts of vandalism would go down. A while back someone mentioned bamboo lashes like they have in China, that's another soultion.

Wrong. People get caught all the time. It's that kind of poor attitude that has created the probelm in tghe firsdt place.

Is this for the BRT? If so, that's not going to make too many people want to use the service.
