Bench Warrant

After a brief stint on the corner of Jefferson and Lillibridge, a bench built by local students to serve those waiting at a bus stop will have to be removed. DDOT is claiming the bench was not pre-approved to adorn its otherwise pristine bus stop, consisting of a sign and cement. In summary, an ineffective bus system plagued with everything from violence to bedbugs—and this is before the impending budget cuts— has taken the time to detect and reject an unapproved bench at a bus stop.
