Hi Molly:

We are working right now with an architecture-artist team to develop a new modular bus shelter "standard" for a community in Pittsburgh. Would be happy to connect with you about the project and why and how certain decisions have been made about the design and what components to include, etc. There has been lengthy discussion of maintenance, ownership, repairs, etc., which all factor into the decisions that have been made thus far.

We are hoping to be in construction later this spring with installation by the end of the year.

The Conceptual Design was presented to Pittsburgh's Art Commission last year and you can see the presentation PDF here: https://apps.pittsburghpa.gov/redtail/images/17882_3_-_Hazelwood_Green_Bus_Shelters_Application.pdf

Let me know if you would like to set up a call sometime to talk further!

Sincerely,

Sallyann

This is a shelter we did in 2011. It probably would have survived well, but it has been hit by a tornado and a car. With repairs it still is great. One key to the success is that it hold the standard glass that a regular shelter holds, which makes maintaining the glass easier.

Hi PAN folks,

We're revisiting bus shelter public art projects. Can you share any experiences with projects you've loved, and how they've held up (or disappointed) over the years? We're particularly interested in durability, longevity, and maintenance.

Thanks!

Molly
