Coral reefs have appeared in two Takoma Park bus shelters. The City of Takoma Park's Arts and Humanities Division has commissioned and installed two oceanic-themed vinyl wraps in bus shelters at 1300 Holton Lane, and at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Hilltop Road. The project utilized public art funds. “We wanted to create a fun scene that would brighten people’s day while they’re walking by or waiting for the bus,” Arts and Humanities Coordinator Brendan Smith said in a statement. “They are the first bus shelters where you can sit next to tropical fish and sea turtles without holding your breath.”
