We don’t shut down on you, so don’t shut down on us

This city needs to have all bus routes available on Sundays! Most people that work for the city have Sunday off. However, these people go to restaurants, grocery stores, shops, bars, etc., on Sunday. That means people are working on Sundays other than the city. We need to be able to get to work, church, home, to these businesses listed above, the airport, etc. Do we shut down on you? No! So please don't shut down on us. Many bus drivers have told me they would love to work a Sunday.

The city does not need another hotel, bar, coffee bar, brewery, restaurant, renovations on city hall, a bigger jail or to worry about a topless law.

You are spending our hard-earned money on ridiculous and unnecessary "improvements." That money needs to go to the people for the people — one example being transportation for the public.
