Comments on Specific Locations Location Rosedale ransit Center Snelling & County Rd B Snelling & Roselawn Hamline & Larpenteur Hamline & Hoyt Snelling & Nebraska Snelling & Como Snelling & University Comment Would like the Park-and-Ride back at Rosedale. arget needs to make a sidewalk to the Har Mar bus stop. Almost nobody uses this stop. An 84 route option to serve as much of Hamline as possible would be a good idea (a la future Route 83). Consider restoring the 84 Local to the Hamline/Hoyt area! 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! A dedicated bike lane is needed along Snelling between Como and Hewitt (similar to bike bridge along Lexington). he bus stop by the book store is too small for such a high usage. 5
