The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

A good compromise might be to roll this out slowly as money exists to pay for it, perhaps starting on the east side near UWM, where a lot of students take the bus and ride their bikes due to tight parking, and a lot of folks in that part of town are envirowhackos. So, in short, let’s not kill the idea just yet, but let’s not spend money we don’t have on a system that needs improvements of other sorts.
