Kansas City Bus Shelters

One of our favorite writers here at Dwell is architect Dan Maginn. And he does some pretty stellar buildings as well with his Kansas City, Missouri, firm El Dorado Inc. You can keep an eye out for one of the firms recent projects in our October issue, but to tide you El Dorado fiends over for the moment, here are a pair of bus shelters the firm recently designed and erected at the Commonwealth Development in the Hyde Park neighborhood of KC. 

Here's a look at one of the two shelters. I asked what they cost and Maginn replied, "They tell me [the cost] is withheld, but that the Kansas City Area Transit Authority typically offers three types of shelters: a base model, a deluxe model and one in between. Ours is comparable with the 'in between' one."
