Three years after the City Council approved them, seven art bus shelters along Ingersoll Avenue remain unbuilt.
Why it matters: The project aimed to elevate the transit experience with creative community-inspired shelters, but delays have left most stops unchanged, with only one of eight installed so far.
State of play: The shelters were anticipated soon after the council's approval, but the timeline was extended to allow the city and DART to update the terms of property easement agreements that are needed for their placements, DART spokesperson Sarah Welch tells Axios.
- The public transit system has also prioritized Reimagine DART, an ongoing effort to redesign the network to better align with modern transit needs.
What's next: DART anticipates installing the next four this year, Welch said.
