this is a bit of a teaser, but expect a complete picture story of the current parking meter replacement program happening on my route to work.
meanwhile, here are some bollards protecting the new parking meter, waiting patiently in its plastic wrapper.

bollard trap

“how do you catch wild bollards ?” i hear you ask (for this is a blog with ears).

unfortunately, bollards aren’t human so it does cause them some distress.
