Comment on AATA Service Alerts Because of the Snow and the Benefits of Choosing the Bus by Marlene Robinson

I am in a carpool, and am trying to figure out a way to use the Green Park & Ride Lot for parking instead of Ann Ashley but most folks in the carpool work downtown. That means that when I drive, I drop off the Plymouth and Green passenger and then must come Downtown and drop them off. I could drive back to the Park & Ride Lot at that point, but would then have to take the bus back Downtown and repeat the cycle for the ride home. This seems like a lot of back and forth, and there must be a better way. Any ideas?

What I would like the Ann Arbor and more importantly the Westsiders to remember that the city of Ann Arbor is more then the Downtown, Campus and Kerrytown area. The east side never gets any biking commuter love. Washtenaw is a deathtrap (talk about turns and rights on red), there is no way easy way to cross over to Pitsfield then Ypsi with out going way out of your way.
I’m scared to death every time I see someone with a kid bike trailer.

Montreal has bike lanes between street-parked cars and the sidewalk, creating a safe, defined space for cycles. I’d love to see this on streets like Main and State.

I’m working on a way to be able to teach from home. You know, like have a holodeck here at school (cuz we’re so bursting with money) and just sorta “beam” my butt in. Seriously, teaching is one of the few jobs where you gotta be here. I will not speak to online teaching except to say that I have had online classes and they were jokes. I ended up teaching myself which is okay b/c I’m a good teacher. But I wasn’t paying to teach myself, if you know what I mean.
