I think I had post about it,,,

I think I have post about the giant wheel they had put on display near where I live.  It is supposed to be an work of art and they had put a lot of money on it.  It is suppose to honor public transport and people are not agreeing on the utility of this art work.  There was an inauration day (under the rain) a few weeks ago.  Here how it look like, I took a photo from afar.  Maybe I will take a closer picture if I feel confident enough:

I took three picture to give an idea where it is.  It is supposed to honor public transit but it's emplacement is on the cornoer of two big boulevard.  Two busy boulevard.  Of course, there are buses that goes on those two big street.  Beside that, not much of transit.  No subways, no railways, no places for other mean of transport except buses, cars and trucks.  The boulevard that is show on the photos is one big entryways of the city.  So, there is lot of traffic.  There is lot of traffic on the other boulevard too and it help feed the seen boulevard.  They want the wheel to honor public transit?  My eye!  If there where more public transit other than buses, I wouldn't say anything.

My other problem is about suicide people.  This wheel will be tempting to those with suicidal thoughts.  They will be attracted to the weel, I am sure.  It is only a question of time.  Those kind of people doens't care where they do their things.  The result shock us but they usually don't feel anything after dying.  They will only see a good place to put a noose with enough room to do their deeds, even if they really don't want to do it after all.

Makes me think of an anecdote from my childhood.  It really had happened.  There was a guy that hang himself in a cemetary.  You may think it is a fitting place to commit suicide, right?  Well, the cemetary in question was just beside an elementary school.  I was going there and I remember that the cemetary was clearly visible from the background schoolyard.  There was even some students that had seen the deceased person still hanging from the tree.  So, it was a fitting place but not the best one due to the neighbor.

So, for the wheel, I am waiting for the first one who will have the idea and commitment to do it till the end.  I don't know if I am the only one who think about the possibility but I won't be shocked if it happen one day.
