Sometimes a detour can be a good thing

With all the construction going on in the city at the moment the city buses have been detoured off of their regular routes.
Today I got off a bus and took a look a this sculpture depicting the plight of the homeless .
Not sure if you can make out some of the quotes on the edges of it or not but some were quite thought provoking
