Bus stop replaced again for the 4th time in the past year and a half
As reported a couple of weeks ago, the bus stop on Brickell and 15th Street was taken out for the 3rd or 4th time in the past year and a half by a speeding vehicle. Apparently the last accident involved a motorcycle which burned the bus stop to a crisp. Last week the bus stop was replaced yet again.

Damaged bus stop on Brickell Avenue and 15th Street
Although we keep replacing the bus stop, the fundamental issue of speeding on Brickell Avenue isn’t being dealt with. How many more times does this bus stop need to be flattened before the City of Miami addresses the underlying cause of these accidents? A short term solution would be to move the bus stop to a less dangerous location; the current location is on a very treacherous curve.
Given the history of the bus stop, it’s only a matter of time before this happens again. Hopefully no one will be injured when it does occur.
