Metro temporary bus shelter project at Fort Totten station

Catching up on posts.

Over the next several months, Metro will be replacing the bus shelters at Fort Totten Metro station. Metro is installing transition bus shelters as part of this process. These are temporary shelters wrapped in artistic images. The temporary shelters still have electronic bus arrival signs and there is a small bench in each shelter.

Signage at the transition shelters explains that the artistic designs are based on hand-drawn renderings of the Metro system by employees of the architectural firm that designed the Metrorail system, including an individual named Gene Streett.
