Thanks for reading and commenting. Boy could...MK,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting. Boy could we use more shelters out in the neighborhoods.<br /><br />Mike, <br /><br />Thanks for the added pressure!<br /><br />At least I have the advantage of being able to ask you what is in the presentation at the beginning. In what detail do they go into features/amenities?<br /><br />Your perspective on how to approach a 2 minute comment portion is correct. I'd imagine I'll spend some time thinking about features I've encountered on transit systems in the past, but a heads up on something to react/add to in their speech would be golden.<br /><br />I suppose this post read like a huge endorsement. My intent was really to critique the misguided and condemn counter-productive social attitudes.<br /><br />In a small timeframe I won't be able to crusade for social justice or proper building reuse. Need to come up with a winner or two to enhance the service and work to build transit enthuasiasm in town.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922231021287645853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546356820331261420.post-57931594563503713962010-04-29T12:45:00.407-04:002010-04-29T12:45:00.407-04:00The main reason why I believe everyone should atte...The main reason why I believe everyone should attend the next and final public meeting on this topic (May 5) is to suggest improvements or ideas for the future. I really don't care to hear people casting votes "for" or "against". This terminal is needed. But it's success and the success of downtown will hinge on constructive input from the public. For example, one speaker at the last meeting requested a few bicycle-friendly amenities be added. He deserved a standing-O. But overall ideas like this were sorely lacking and I'm hopeful that May 5 will be more fruitful. In fact, I know it will with the Urban Champ rising to the podium :-)Mikehttp://info@rochestersubway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546356820331261420.post-13679835415366796172010-04-28T17:20:49.313-04:002010-04-28T17:20:49.313-04:00Hilarious because it's so sad and true...
My ...Hilarious because it's so sad and true...<br /><br />My favorite pet peeve is when you are at a meeting and someone suggests that instead of a streetcar or bus, they install a high speed train or a personal people mover. <br /><br />In Chicago, businesses fought against bus shelters until they found out they they attracted more people and, therefore, more customers to their stores. Now, they are fighting for more bus shelters.<br /><br />mikekraus.blogspot.comMike Kraushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269962797896244135noreply@blogger.com
