Arborland

Stopped. Watched. icon

Bus shelters and benches have been removed from the pullout inside the mall property and installed along Washtenaw. Legally reaching the stops on the south side of the road requires crossing 3 separate crosswalks and a total of ten lanes of traffic (3 at the Arborland exit drive, 4 at Washtenaw, and 3 at Pittsfield). The author timed this traverse at four minutes, not including the additional 1-2 minutes necessary for reaching the site of the former stops.

    It’s unfortunate, but I’m sure some will have an accident making these crossings and we will be revisiting this…

    Well, I’d like to help make sure it doesn’t come to that. It shouldn’t have to.
