Have you heard about the crowd-funded cardboard bus bench in downtown New Haven?
http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/crowd-sourced_bus_bench_debuts/
In just two weeks, it has seen round-the-clock daily use by hundreds and hundreds of bus riders. Due to this resounding success, we've decided to purchase a 2nd bench.
We are now looking for:
- 10 financial supporters who can donate $12.52 each via PayPal (http://bit.ly/ReVI5f), for the total of $125.20.
- Non-financial supporters who can share this issue via Facebook and Twitter.
Thank you for helping to improve the community!
-Zack
ps. These benches and other cardboard furniture are made locally (right up the street on Chapel) by New Haven's own Chairigami (http://www.chairigami.com).

I'm a sucker for benches. Had an amazing conversation post work today with a girl sitting on bench 1 who also just lost her father as I learned from her "RIP Dad" tag on the bench.
Just donated!

Hey, where will the bench go?
Do we know yet if the city will remove them?
I would happily donate but not if the city is going to just pull it up.

Would be awesome to get this bench out today.

something about sharing is caring? i saw one person taking up the whole bench this morning as i biked by - not that they shouldn't, but because of the size of the bench it's a human-nature thing to have only one person on it if you're a group of one

also perhaps a request to email "xxx@seeclickfix.com" with more bench suggestions on the route? can people text to a number like twitter?
for instance, you could put:
If you have an idea for another location for a bench, please text "@seeclickfix bench location" to 40404
