The proposed bus stops do not provide the solution for the problems that supposedly exists.
The complaint is that bus riders cannot safely get from the mall area to Wright State, the hospital, and the air force base, because there is no safe access over I-675. Only the hospital requires a stop near the mall, and it is several blocks away.
I live in an area that has bus stops. The new Walmart is not a safe place to shop anymore thanks to the bus route. Bus stops trashed the Dayton mall. That mall was forced to impose a curfew type rule requiring young people to be accompanied by an adult after 6pm to cut down on fights and other incidents of intimidation.
Yet another good reason to shop online.
Have the bus stops been placed at the Greene, yet?
Many malls are doing this now and that's unfortunate. Most teens are law-abiding and many have the disposable income that shop owners covet. This is why in any typical mall about half the stores are geared towards teens. Restricting their access to the mall hurts business.
Sadly, PC dictates that we must punish everyone for the actions of a few with such blanket policies.
Shame.
