LH: From what I can see on the Metro Transit map, the 32 route takes you right to the building. The 20 takes you to the corner of West Broadway and River Road, so you would need to walk across Broadway Pizza's lot to the HQ. Yes, it's not downtown, where drivers would pay $5 or so to park in a rampand go to the meeting. Parking is free at the new HQ, and yes, the bus does take you there. Maybe the problem is the south-centeredness of our fair city. Come on up north. It's not inaccessible. It's just in a different part of town.
PS: I've been told that the #20 will be targeted for reduction after light rail gets into full gear this April. Also, #32 is harder to catch after 6:00 pm, though it runs approximately every 30 minutes on weekdays during business hours. As I see it, the problem is not south-centerdedness but auto-centerdness, i.e., drivers wreaking needless havoc on the environment, including our parks. It's high time that more of our office-holders, especially those from the Green and DFL parties, set a better example for all citizens and start using mass transportation. As long as downtown doesn't move to South Minneapolis, asking that meetings be held downtown is not south-centerdness, it's asking that meetings be just as accessible to those without cars as to those living in different parts of the city.------Peter Schmitz CARAG REMINDERS: 1.
