Thank you Nancy!  Fought that battle about the historic neighborhood.

The Nob Hill Neighborhood Association was told the design was selected because it was to represent the snow capped mountains that we see!  What a crock!  Sure doesn't look like the Sandia or Manzano Mountains as far as I can see.  (Note: the design justification was word-for-word plagiarized from the justification used for the Denver Airport design.)

Robert, 

Yes and if I remember correctly, NHNA and others voiced their concerns about these 
bus shelters would not fit the historic nature of portions of Nob Hill.  And there were several 
meetings with the state historic preservation group about it.  The City said they were 
just examples of what could go up and designs would be flexible and they'd work with 
the neighborhoods.  

Just more lies ... 

Thank you for pointing it out, in case folks think neighbors wanted these unsightly 
shelters!

Those camel-back like structures on the rider islands in the middle of Central Ave will provide about as much shade in the hot summers or protection from wind (and maybe rain) as one would get holding an umbrella on a 30’ pole above your head.  Riders are going to seek shelter and weather protection on the sides of Central like before, not go stand out in the middle, until the last minute, creating another problem, imo.  This whole project is not about helping or promoting ridership. I hope there is enough money in the budget to take it all out in a few years and return Rt 66 to its historic nature.
