I M Pi

Stenciled at the entrance to the Second Avenue subway station. I’ve been telling friends for years, that something like this should be made of bronze and embedded in the sidewalk outside every subway exit in the city.
Hey Gamma,
these first started appearing on the 6 line from what I can tell. A few at first. http://nyctheblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/sidewalk-graffiti-provides-navigational.html
Last week, a bus ride from 86th to 14th showed every station (that i could see, at least) had been done! And now, more….the BDFV, NWR, 123, the L, Path trains, etc…they have all been spotted. I’m going to post more tomorrow. Also, the city did a pilot program with decals in 2007 at 4 stations in midtown: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/17/nyregion/17direction.html but it was never continued from what I can tell.
Thanks for the information Paolo, it is an idea whose time has come.
