An Open Letter to Calgary Transit

I sent this message to Calgary Transit earlier today:

Dear Calgary Transit:

I live on the corner of 16th Ave and 4th St NW. There was once a bus stop on 16th just east of this intersection. Then it was torn up by a construction crew and moved just west of the intersection, where it is currently marked by a dirty stick.

Your bus drivers do not seem to be aware of this dirty stick which doubles as a bus stop, although the words "bus stop" are clearly buried on it under a layer of mud. I am writing to request that you take one of two actions:

1) Hire me on a contract basis to periodically clean the stick.

2) Replace the stick with a bus stop sign made of metal.

My contact information is below should you decide upon option 1.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Ball
