I only signed it in principle. After all, I didn't think that you wanted to eliminate Decker Ave and Willowbrook Rd service.The North Shore would claim class discrimination and racial discrimination under your proposal, because you wish to have fewer bus routes in predominantly transit-dependent areas, where minorities generally live, and add service in more affluent areas. When I propose service, I wish to avoid this controversial topic. Besides, the S66 had only averaged 2-3 passengers per trip on weekends in 1995, when weekend service was eliminated. There would have to be, at least, a five-fold increase in ridership along Jewett Ave. I honestly don't think that this could occur. And Grymes Hill ridership was worse than Jewett Ave on weekends. 'Nuff said. |
