I'm going to vote "YES" on the LRT on University
issue, and do it publically cause I think it might
take more than 150 words to get this post done.
As a person who lives a block from Uni in the Midway
area, and works on the U of M East Bank, I've used
both cars and buses in my commute. Right now I'm a
car person, because the 16 is way too slow and the 50
is timed wrong, but LRT would put me firmly and
permanently back on public transit.
U of M staff and students-- especially the graduate,
professional, and commuter students-- are huge riders
of the 16 and 50. If you're even going to consider
LRT in the I94 corridor instead, you're going to have
problems linking it to the U of M-- or you're going to
have to bypass it all together, and the U of M is a
place that would provide enormous ridership for the
LRT, and could really use the service.
I'm going to confine myself to these points, or I'm
going to get way too long-winded.
