Bus stop needed, says reader


Dear Editor:


I was truly hoping that the newly-elected officials would be doing us justice this time around, especially since they opted to call a first-time-ever Town Hall meeting on Apr. 24. But alas, it’s the same old, same old.


I was not informed that if you’re on the board in your building, you could not speak. But that’s okay since the question I had prepared was asked by someone else who was very rudely told, “You keep asking me and I keep telling you we’re looking into it.” How long does it take to look into having a bus stop across from Century Village to go to the doctor? It is a bad crossing and, in time, someone will get hurt or killed trying to cross with a walker or cane. How much for a human life?


It does not take that long to stop and drop someone off.


All board officials have cars. Why don’t they stop using their cars for one month, take the buses and see how they like being at the mercy of someone else – and spending all their time writing [about it]?

P.S. I don’t need to be told if I don’t like it to move. I’m trying. But it’s bad timing.
