Amazing! Thanks for all the pics.. Shoot! I can't believe I missed this. I was gonna walk by today and completely forgot. oh well..
The collective newspaper boxes will change the look of this city in such a dramatic way with such a small action.
The current crop of boxes everywhere, chained to hydro poles, clumped in large groups and even abandoned boxes by publications that failed creates so much clutter on our street.
I love how these will consolidate them and make it easier for maintenance workers to spot illegal boxes and remove them.
The shelters – even though I thought they looked very similar to what we have – are quite nice. I like the taller ceiling and the steeper incline to prevent snow from accumulating.
The Next Bus/Streetcar indicator will make it much more tolerable to wait for the TTC. Some of these will inevitably be across from cafés or other indoor public space where a person can monitor them from within a warm space. The characters are large enough to see from across the street.
...however, that Bluetooth activation thingy seems to solve the problem in a different way. I wonder if this means that you link your phone to the shelter's Bluetooth system and it will notify you when the bus/streetcar is coming. I didn't see that coming at all.
