I work here and think that it's important to have a place to sit while waiting for the bus. There are several other bus stops up Church and Whitney, toward Hamden, that also need benches.
Also curious to know the plan to get a caretaker - maybe Lucien, me, and other people who work in this building can look into that together.
Ultimately, I'd like to see a solution like the one proposed here: http://seeclickfix.com/issues/207774-excess-road-capacity-need-to-widen-sidewalk-bus-stop-and-convert-1-lane-into-bike-lane -- Unfortunately, at this location the sidewalk is a bit narrow to do something that's larger-scale than a Chairigami bench or two, but that can easily be solved with some creative engineering.

claudia -
i understand your concerns. the cardboard was thought of b/c it's cheap and if it gets destroyed or removed, no one will miss it. the cardboard benches are taken in and out by businesses each day and they're coated with a material to help with resistance to liquid. take a look at the benches outside the SeeClickFix headquarters on Chapel Street (across from ECM at State Street) for an idea of how well they work.
so far, people use them and they haven't been destroyed. not too bad for a low cost fix!
