Yo dawg, I heard you like less stabbing and lunch money stealing in your BART station so we took a 2.1 million dollar grant and removed those planter boxes.

SF Appeal reports:

On Thursday, the transit company is scheduled to accept a $2.1 million grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, as reported by the Ex. This money will go toward making the Mission district station cleaner and, they say, more secure for those that use it.

From Rachel:

New sorta bay area centric nyt ads in the Bart. There were a bunch, that said “& Guggenheim, & d’orsay, & Avignon, & obama.”  and the mish?

& The Mission!  The New York Times is all over 24th St. BART like white on rice (or white on this blog!).  Perhaps it’s partly to remind us of their new Bay Area blog.
