Comments on Specific Locations Location Comment Rosedale Transit Center • Would like the Park-and-Ride back at Rosedale. Snelling & County Rd B • Target needs to make a sidewalk to the Har Mar bus stop. Snelling & Roselawn • Almost nobody uses this stop. Hamline & Larpenteur • An 84 route option to serve as much of Hamline as possible would be a good idea (a la future Route 83). Hamline & Hoyt • Consider restoring the 84 Local to the Hamline/Hoyt area! Snelling & Nebraska • Can you add a stop between Larpenteur and Como, even with the limitation of the west side boundary of the State Fair? • Job Corps span of service later at night. • Need stop in the Como-Larpenteur gap! Snelling & Como • A dedicated bike lane is needed along Snelling between Como and Hewitt (similar to bike bridge along Lexington). Snelling & University • The bus stop by the book store is too small for such a high usage. 5
