What’s Next? Dear Mr. Boyhan, I attended the public hearing Tuesday night on the proposed passenger ferry between Sag Harbor and Greenport. Many people raised serious questions about more congested traffic, less parking spaces, where the ferry would be re-fueled, more pollution in the air and water with seven to nine ferries a day and shuttle buses [...] |

This Lenten season I gave up my car and began riding the bus. The first few days were tough but exciting. I began getting the timing down and understanding my routes, while also making many friends who had been taking the same route for decades. |

While our elected leaders are busy spending millions washing, buffing and polishing Sugar Creek and for the Democrat Convention we still have an unsafe Interstate 77! |
April 05 2012 - Desperate schools turn to advertising for revenue
DALLAS — Splayed across school buses, embedded in test papers and even splashed on campus roofs, advertisements have crept into the once sacred realm of the school zone. Marketers find an eager host in the state’s school districts, which are scrounging for funds to bolster baseline budgets. Just this school year, North Texas districts have started launching companies’ ads in parent newsletters ... |

The commentary by Charlie Quimby, March 4, regarding the joint bus facility is a breath of fresh air for The Daily Sentinel and the readership. This is real news. The original story previously published focused on the adversarial issues and did not speak to many underlying facts as Quimby noted. |

Editor: Thank you, Scott Howson, for throwing Rick Nash under the bus. I believe the fact that the star player is asking for a trade speaks volumes about the organization. Nash had said he wanted to stay in Columbus, but the team’s losing ways and mismanagement can silence even the most passionate. |

Stop running through school bus red lights, endangering children As a school bus driver, I see child endangerment almost every day. I see cars and trucks passing school buses while the bus has the red lights flashing and the stop arm on the left side of the bus is activated. The stop arm also has flashing red lights. It is not like there has been no warning that the red lights were going to come ... |

There’s so much talk about relocating the bus terminal. Why not look across the street? Doesn’t the city already own that park? There’s plenty of room there to build a nice depot that could accommodate Greyhound and Grand Valley Transit. |

Why have a bus station any place in the city? Seems to me that if the Greyhound Company imports so much crime into our city, why do we allow them to have a station anywhere in the city? |

So the Mesa County Regional Transportation Planning Office has already spent last spring $950,000 for property and plans to build a new bus terminal for Greyhound on 24 ½ Road. Who knew. |
