Also let it be known that I submitted a 311 request for these in addition to complaining into the ether but 1. The estimated repair time is FIFTY DAYS and 2. Getting them repaired isn't really the point.

Great place to put a camera. Run it over and endanger people, pay a fine to replace it

Noticed this too recently and took a pic of one of them at Winchester. I’ve even seen cars hit them while walking in the area. Some of it seems to stem from cars passing stopped buses.

Apparently today some were replaced. I noticed on my walk tonight that the signs at Winchester are brand new. I didn’t walk any further so not sure if they got more replaced. I guess we can start the clock to see how long these last.

Nik also noticed they were replaced along Welles Park (I had taken these photos several days ago). I need to start keeping track of how many times annually (monthly) they're damaged tbh.

I’m definitely going to be keeping a closer eye on these two from now on. I’m curious how long they’ll look so pristine.
