Tri-Met Adds "Art"

Well of course they are. Spending north of a billion dollars on a seven-mile "extension" of their two-car toy "train" lines is insufficiently wasteful, so they're installing 38 "boats" made of rusted steel into petunia beds around close-in SE Porkland. They're located along their new light rail line, and the former transit agency (now a development agency) sort of forgot to mention how much this incredible "art" installation's costing taxpayers. They do claim some really silly stuff though:

The “pieces draw on the natural history of the area while celebrating the Portland-Milwaukie light rail transit project’s green street improvements in the corridor,” TriMet said in a release.

Bull. Typical Tri-Met PR baloney. They have no clue about the "natural history of the area" and nobody really gives a rat's heinie about their "green street improvements" - let alone see any reason to "celebrate" them. They're just doing what they do best: peeing away other peoples' money.
Hey, Neil baby, buy a clue: as head of Tri-Mess, you ought to be putting that money into buses and staff. Oh, and in case you're interested, the above picture shows you what real light rail trains look like. You berks. (I love Max Redline transit posts, they are absolutely great)
