Bench Avenue
When local government began removing public benches, the public pushed back, and vibrant, community-built seating now outnumbers the official shelters at Chattanooga bus stops.

📜 Community-built benches line Dodson Ave in Chattanooga, transforming it into 'Bench Avenue'. This initiative started in response to the local government removing public benches.
