Southtowners knew that there is frequent bus service but limited street parking. This plan appears to create parking spaces for the few and longer bus rides to the subway for the elderly/handicapped.
If they can turn around at Gri-stede and possibly at the NEW foun-tain at the Tram station why not turn the buses around at the Subway plaza on the southbound trip ? Trucks should be encouraged to offload on East Road in any case
My only question is why does Frank Farance appoint Chairpersons of Committees in RIRA when all he wants to do is tell them what to do anyway?
Mr. Farance does not appoint RIRA Committee Chairpersons. They are nominated by RIRA Common Council Members and then voted on by the full Common Council.
