Subject: Fw: Why is this bus times sign cover still smashed?

I would like to respectfully emphasize to each of you very influential government officials that many of the University of Texas at Austin students, along with many other Central Texans, including senior citizens, frequently deboard or board Cap Metro buses at this bus stop  in north-central Austin. 

Above and below, please find photographic documentation from an e-mail report I wrote and sent to Cap Metro on September 14, 2021 (last item, below, with photo at bottom), and the e-mail report I wrote and sent to Cap Metro earlier today (photo above and photo just below), that this Cap Metro departure times board has remained smashed and allegedly vandalized ever since September 14, 2021.

 I do not know the exact date when the alleged vandalism to this Cap Metro bus times board was first reported to the Austin Police Department, the Travis County Sheriff's Office, or the Texas Department of Public Safety state-law-enforcement agency. The Texas DPS maintains its headquarters offices less than one mile directly north of this bus stop.

Best Wishes,
from University of Texas at Austin alumnus, University of Minnesota Graduate School of Journalism  alumnus, and former Texas DPS law-enforcement agency full-time employee John Kevin McMillan of northeast Austin.
My solo-occupancy efficiency-rental-home address ever since June 21, 2019:
Pebble Creek Apartments (a Belco Equities-managed large gated-community complex), 8805 North Plaza Drive, Building 17, Apt. 2418, Austin, TX 78753.
