Episode Details

The city’s iconic 100 Street Funicular took a brutal hit last month, with 21 glass panels shattered across four separate days in August — sparking outrage among riders and forcing officials to rethink materials, costs, and safety. While police nabbed a suspect linked to the vandalism via CCTV and transit officers, the damage has ballooned repair costs beyond the usual $40K–$70K annual budget — all against the backdrop of a $24 million river valley project. Riders are frustrated, calling it “why we can’t have nice things,” while some even witnessed someone throwing rocks at the glass — a wild escalation in a city already grappling with public infrastructure woes.
