That's exactly right Darla, it comes down to a safety issue which is
being ignored.
And, you know, while Mr. Garrison sort of implied the mall had a
problem with buses coming in, he didn't come out and say that, and so
I'm not sure if the mall does have a problem, or we're simply meant to
think they do. It's a point which needs clarification, and one we need
to write our commissioners about, *after* the plan is proposed, urging
them not to accept it. right now, if you write a city commissioner
before the plan is proposed, your comments are simply forwarded on to
StarMetro, who apparently aren't listening to safety issues much.

As I recall, there aren't sidewalks at Governor Square Mall
on which to
walk; I can't think of many things more unsafe than having to
traverse a
large parking lot while competing with the noise from the
Parkway, and more
people than you think, simply pull out of their parking space without
looking for anyone, so I believe that Star Metro needs to
have the buses go
into the mall, as they currently do.
If the mall has a problem with that, let them have shuttles
from the bus
stop to the mall entrance and back.
