I hope the cops are waiting and issue a ticket for the car driver, and arrest the person putting stickers on the cars for vandalism. Idiots."I parked in a bike lane" stickers. Get ready for passive aggressive urbanism!

So, I was thinking about this again today, and it still seems like a good idea. I made a couple of quick-and-dirty mockups:Anyone with graphic design skills want to draft something for the Twin Cities? I'll (seriously) pay to print the first 100 stickers. They might not survive the winter, but I'm willing to start a movement to show Metro Transit we're serious about getting better stop information. I don't think the stickers would even have to be as big as the ones they have in Brazil. Room to write the route number(s), direction, and the Stop ID# is probably plenty. This would be primarily for busier bus stops that do not have shelters today. Metro Transit's own audit indicated something like 400 stops that qualified for shelters, but didn't have them. We could start there (or just crowdsource it and let people put 'em up at the 10 stops closest to their home/work). I think even like 5 urbanmsp'ers could make a serious dent.
Let's do it! Who's our graphic design pro? Get me something soon and I'll start ordering stickers. First 100 are on me.
Yeah, I made them beforehand, in my apartment, then walked down Hennepin to find that all the 6/12 stops (north of Franklin, at least) have official signs, shelters, or both. Oops. Agreed that a thicker marker would be better.Bolder font/print needed. No need where official signage, IMO. This is coming along, and I like it!
Now here's someone that loves his city. Every little bit helps. Thank you.This just gave me another idea. I think I might go around and try to remove as much of that graffiti pen as I can, looks like a can of remover is $8

I agree......to an extent. I hate it when people put flyers on my car for instance, since they're basically just making me pick up and throw away their garbage (and oh by the way, will you buy something from me? No!). However, arresting somebody for fairly passively (or passive-aggressively) putting stickers on wrong-doer's cars is a bit excessive.I hope the cops are waiting and issue a ticket for the car driver, and arrest the person putting stickers on the cars for vandalism. Idiots."I parked in a bike lane" stickers. Get ready for passive aggressive urbanism!
