Photos to go: A bus you won't miss

At first glance, it looks like a RideKC bus pulled onto the sidewalk in the Crossroads — but it's actually a new bus stop.

The big picture: It's a small, very visible example of how KC is blending public art into everyday infrastructure.

• The installation, called "The Bus Bus Stop," sits near 18th and Holmes and opened last Friday.
• KC-based Molzer Development helped create it through a START bond-funded project that required transit upgrades and was designed to double as public art.

The bottom line: It does the same job as any bus stop, just in a way that makes people look twice.
