Edmonton police are investigating a string of bus shelter vandalisms.
As of November 15, 141 bus shelters have been reported as vandalized by having the glass shattered.
Dozens of bus shelters along 118ave have been vandalized recently. Many have multiple panes of glass broken. Workers tell @CityNewsYEG that they are having a hard time keeping up with the clean-up and repair. #yeg #yegtraffic #ets #edmontontransit #vandalism pic.twitter.com/CccYGhxhiS

“The estimated cost to clean up and repair the damaged bus shelters is $38,000,” said Trevor Dennehy, Director of LRT Operations and Maintenance in a statement.
“Bus shelter vandalism impacts all of us and is a senseless act, especially at a time when finances are already constrained. Every Edmontonian pays for the repair costs.”
Anyone who may have any information regarding the bus shelter vandalisms is asked to contact Edmonton police at 780-423-4567.
