Somebody has been going around busting up bus shelters in my neighborhood.

This is particularly disturbing because there has been a very successful push to remove bus shelters and benches across the city, along with the regular push to diminish all infrastructure for active transportation. People cheer because they say there's one less place for "homeless druggies" to hang out, but all I found was a pleasant elderly lady sitting on the bench surrounded by broken glass, still falling.

Thanks to the network redesign, my #accessible and #sheltered bus stop is gone. The now-closest one HAD a shelter, until a car flipped over and pancaked the entire thing early in the pandemic.

311 outright disbelieved/ignored me (despite it being in the news), leaving the stop barren even of any signage. 🙄

Calling a councillor finally got a replacement sign installed. No shelter OR bench now so no way I can use it as bus is often randomly delayed thereabouts. 😡
