How non-green can you get on Earth Day? Ask RTA. Maybe it’s a trial balloon, or maybe it’s a serious consideration. What am I talking about? The potential to eliminate weekend bus routes. Wouldn’t that be helpful to the NE Ohio economy? Not to mention use of fuel. Sigh.  You can read about this here  on [...]

No Joke, they had a meeting at Berea City Hall, a meeting agreed upon by Mr. Calabrese of RTA because there was a serious grassroots effort by the long time riders of this route. And they convinced him to keep it!
Tonight’s run was supposed to be its last.
But the riders, after a months-long campaign, including [...]

Thank goodness for public protest. Something tells me this State money was available way before now, and I am hoping the RTA powers that be, with the support of local government, will continue to lead the way to getting available monies and not do it after the fact as it seems in this case.

RTA is planning their own audit and you can read about it [...]

I check out the headlines before I sign off for the night-including the PD.  Tonight there was a glaring headline about RTA losing money and maybe even having to cut more routes. They claim (RTA does) ridership is up 10% and many buses along the routes are full. That’s good right? Yes and no. Because [...]

Today I had an open house at Pointe At Gateway. Okay, let me back up. First I met with sellers at a new listing at Fries & Schuele, then since I was at the office, my manager drove me to The Pointe.  (I had an open house sign….which I left there since I plan on [...]

The short answer is yes, with a few caveats. My car became more trouble than it was worth so about three weeks ago I joined the list of newly bus passed commuters. The easy part is getting to and from my office. The #22 picks me up at the corner of my street and takes [...]

This article from NPR highlights some stats about markets where transit exists compared to areas of the same state where it does not. Kathleen Schalch writes about a pattern developing: neighborhoods that are as she says relatively unscathed by falling prices (or at least ’scathed’ less if that’s a word).
The article talks about a few [...]
