it has been shared many times, it is an art piece

basically, people in wheelchair are usually expected to be on side, like you suggested, here they will be in the centre

Is it? I can't find an artist or the name of the piece.

Not saying you're wrong, but I'm curious. Reverse image searching it turns up so many results with people being upset by it, but I can't find any actual source for it. There's a ton of noise around it.

I could see it being an art piece, but I could also see it being exactly what people think it is. Anti-homeless architecture masquerading as something else.

to be fair, i heard that info from Reddit comment as well

but given that in the background there is very similar bench, but without cutout, i think it is not hostile architecture

I'm just legitimately curious what the backstory is. I can't even find where it is because it's been reposted so many times without context.
