However, the Detroit Department of Transportation is putting the brakes on the community seating project. DDOT says the bench was not approved and plans to remove it.
Many of the city's bus stops don't have seating. Molnar's benches are equipped with shelves to keep reading material for riders as they wait for the bus.
