[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The schools have been overcapacity for years the roads are impossible to travel on now in the city. City officials have seriously lost their minds. When city council was asked about class sizes and overcapacity issues years ago and asked what their plans are with all the 10 newish affordable housing buildings the literally sat there and blinked. You can't make this incompetence up.

Impossible, you say? So everyone is just sitting at home? Or, if you mean impossible to travel on by car, how come there are so many cars on the roads?[/quote]

My son has a weekly physical therapy appointment 1.3 miles from our home in Alexandria.  Due to traffic congestion, it takes 25 minutes to get there in the evening by car.  It would take the same by bus.  [/quote]

In that case, if it were me, I would take the bus. Less stress, fewer miles on the car.

It's unfortunate how much car traffic slows down buses, though. We need more dedicated bus lanes.[/quote]

FORCING people to take the bus is not a great plan for most. [/quote]

Nobody is forcing (let alone FORCING) anybody to take the bus. The PP is continuing to drive to the appointment. It's just less convenient to drive than it used to be; or, conversely, more convenient to take the bus. [/quote]

It isn’t convenient if the bus is running late[/quote]

You clearly don't live here. There were 4 busses back to back blocking seminary road completely yesterday. Most were empty you could have jumped on one of them.[/quote]
