Even if it took years to transform a large number of them, it would be a step in the right direction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426239.post-1138905496228425552006-02-02T12:38:00.000-06:002006-02-02T12:38:00.000-06:00Thanks for your comment Bryan.I neglected to menti...Thanks for your comment Bryan.<BR/><BR/>I neglected to mention that there will be a public hearing soon to help improve the "Near East" neighborhood, which encompasses the area from downtown to Broad and from Merritt north to Lincoln.<BR/><BR/>This is another area that is in desperate need of help (though not as conveniently located to the university since there are no bike lanes)Lake Winneblogohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063703316063246957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426239.post-1138896909598716032006-02-02T10:15:00.000-06:002006-02-02T10:15:00.000-06:00I agree.
