Ald. Hairston Okays #171 Bus Stop
In Hutch Commons of the Reynolds Club tonight, Alderman Leslie Hairston of the 5th Ward presided over a thirty-minute meeting about the bus stop at 57th & University. A couple dozen students, a handful of other residents and a few officials-- University, CTA and aldermanic staff-- made up a suitably non-contentious audience. Several spoke in favor of keeping the bus stop and no one spoke against it, so at the end Ald. Hairston announced that she was satisfied and would approve it.
There! That wasn't so hard, now was it?
I haven't thought this through, but for those of us who don't drive (me), a Z circulator would be nice -- a bus that goes down 53rd, 55th, and 57th -- would make it easier to get to the animal clinic, Freehling's, etc. Or at least 53rd and 57th (since there is a 55th bus).
