This image will become few and far between in Coronado!

The Sunday bus eliminations that have already been made with 901/904 routes along with the current 6 bus stop removal "study" is only the beginning of transit cuts in Coronado.....

UNLESS WE SPEAK OUT and demand OUR councilmembers to work on OUR behalf.

I have been talking with so many people over the past few weeks about this issue and I continue to hear the same type of comments.

Shouldn't we be increasing ridership for our future?
Riding the bus helps traffic congestion and pollution.
I loved living here because it is so easy to get around without a car.
I enjoy taking the bus to San Diego too.
Seniors and Disabled people are being denied access to needed transportation already on Sundays, now they want to start taking away bus stops?
Most of us don't live on Orange Avenue, so we are already walking several blocks each way.
Coronado can not be compared to any other city. We don't have alternative bus routes on adjacent streets to serve riders.

I need everyone's help to SPEAK OUT, educate your neighbors and friends about this issue. Write a letter and email to bdenny@coronado.ca.us. Councilwoman Barbara Denny is our ONLY advocate for public transportation on the Coronado city council. You can also post your letter on ecoronado.com AND email it to editor@eaglenewsca.com to be included in the Eagle Journal newspaper!

Thank you!

This is GOOD planning in a public transportation system. I guess that is why City officials (except one) want to "study" eliminating bus stops here. Let's break the cycle of BAD transportation decisions that Coronado has made over the last TWO decades. SAVE OUR BUSES; SAVE CORONADO'S CHARM!! WE CAN lead the way to OUR FUTURE!!

Comment by Denise Boucher on August 12, 2010 at 11:21am: Councilwoman Barbara Denny is holding her monthly SPEAK OUT session tonight at 7pm in the Winn Room at the Library. I hope to see some of the BUS SUPPORTERS there!

Comment by Suzette Valle on August 17, 2010 at 8:38am: High school students and our youth will also be affected by this short-sighted decision. Many don't live 'in the village' and sometimes the buses are their only transportation when parents are depolyed or they have other school-related extracurriculars like sports practices.
