For years we endured the sound & sight of shattered glass with the old Expo-style bus shelter outside our bedrooms' windows only to find out last night that the main advertising feature in the fashionable new structures is covered by shatterable glass. The answer -- unbreakable polycarbonate -- even if it scratches it can eventually be replaced. I've come to the conclusion that it's all a game. As long as the parties concerned get paid everyone is content to let the game play out. Everyone except the residents who have to listen to, or discover breakage, as well as view, and sometimes consolidate the glass waste.<br>How about easy find repair notification numbers? I have to spend considerable time to sleuth down a number. Haven't found it yet! Composed this email instead.<br>Please remove the removable graffiti "white pride".<br>Personally I'm in favour of no shelters where vandalism is high. In a moment of kindness, how about free Pattison/City of Surrey umbrellas--Oh they make the posting of hot young women and men and their body parts difficult to display! En masse those illustrated umbrellas would make quite the display. Re. graffiti-ists: I suggest plain umbrellas for them to practice their freedom of expression. Complimentary grafitti instruments bearing the sponsor's names.<br>From the folks at SW corner of 24th Ave & 128 St. Shelter # 77901/77902. Oh Surrey!

Every shelter I have driven past has had the glass smashed in it within hours of it being installed or replaced. Better make them out of shatter proof glass or waste a ton of money doing maintenance every week. Seems like a real waste unless you own a glass company.
