说明
The entry and exit is constantly blocked by bus patrons. It is a safety hazard and a shelter needs to be placed away from the entrance. You can donate to a temporary bench for this bus stop here: http://bit.ly/MJrWnq

I counted fourteen people and two small children waiting here around noon.
At the very least, a couple of benches would be great.

Donated!
Hey City of New Haven, I'll plan to have you reimburse me, once this project is a resounding success. ;) :P

Nice; that was fast! Can it be somewhat weatherized--some sort of protective coating put on it?
(and I'm with Zack, send an expense report to the City! :)

We'll take it in at night and the gentleman at Chairigami did shelac the seat to make it more durable. WE left the rest of it unshelaced so folks could feel free to decorate it. There was a suggestion to use the bench for a local version of the Before I Die project by Candy Chang. What do you think?

The new bench is great. However, I think that Travers and the city's engineering office are misguided if they believe that they can add a full scale shelter here without widening the sidewalk.
The proper approach would be to add a "curb extension"/"bumpout" like the one shown here in Cambridge, Massachusetts:

or the "bus bulb" like this one in NYC:

Wide sidewalks are needed to encourage walking in Downtown and also promote safety by giving people enough space to maneuver with baby carriages, bicycles, and the like. If you look around other bus stops in Downtown New Haven, you'll notice that the shelters are often set back or located on an area with an especially wide sidewalk.
Bumping out the curb would create plenty of room for a bus shelter. This section of Chapel Street was significantly widened in the 1960s in order to accommodate more car traffic, which was an unnecessary move. If appropriately configured, this street can easily have car travel lanes, bike lanes, bus stops, shorter pedestrian crossing distances, AND wide sidewalks altogether.

Can someone assure me that Benton is an elaborate practical jokester? This is ridiculous. Is this seriously her job? To track down "renegade" benches?
