if bus stop announcements should not be part of this process, can we at
least ask for a meeting to discuss transit issues not directly related to
the Nova2010 plan?
thanks.

Sila,
I don't think right on red and bus stop announcements are part of this
discussion. Yes they are very important, but lets keep the discussion on
target. we all do want those things, but if we spread our selves too
thin,
then we won't accomplish any thing.

Subject: [tabi] Questions for the Decentralization of StarMetro
Evening All,
My list of questions is not in any particular order as yet. Please
look it over and feel free to suggest other questions or share
opinions as they pertain to NOVA2010. Thanks to William for obtaining
some information about the map. As he says, "It has been that
descriptions brings up more questions than answers, so here it is"
Communication clearly is the key and we need to go to this table
prepared.
1) How will decentralization affect Dial-A-Ride patrons who don't live
within 1/4 mile of the fixed bus route?
2) Have there been studies of high traffic routes and stops to try to
keep them included in the decentralized project so as not to
disenfranchise those who are disabled, elderly, have small children or
in some other way not able to walk a longer distance? Examples of this
would include the Malls, housing developments, grocery stores and the
like.
3) Are you studying transfer points which necessitate people being
required to cross busy or hard to cross intersections and helping to
accommodate them?
4) Would you be willing to assist us in lobbying the legislators for
the abolishment of "Right on Red" turns?
5) Have you studied the sidewalk situations or lack there of around
high traffic areas?
6) Are there plans to announce, both (internally and externally) the
bus number/route when it arrives at any given transfer point?
7) Are there plans to write a description of the routes i.e. which
streets and directions it will travel as opposed to a graphical map?
8) Are there plans for a textual/written description for the location
of each stop, (bench, sign or shelter)?
9) Who is your targeted audience?
