Since we’ll be watching a movie at one location, having volunteers drive us to a restaurant at another location, eating and going back home from the restaurant, I think we need to look at how people are coordinating their transportation going to the Theater and coming back home from the restaurant. Basically, what we’re planning involves traveling from Point A to Point B to Point C and back to point A on our own.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m wondering if this is a lot to coordinate, especially with so many people taking ACCESS, as we’re counting on volunteers to drive us from the theater to the restaurant, eating and arranging transportation home from the restaurant--with that pesky 30 minute ACCESS pick up window involved.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m prepared to vote for having the dinner at the Oakley Pub and Grill as they take reservations and their menu is inexpensive. However, I was doing research on the transportation options in the area (as I like to do). If anybody is planning on taking the regular fixed route home and we decide to go with Oakley Pub and Grill for dinner, the closest intersection with a bus stop looks like it could be a complex intersection involving two different side streets crossing Madison Road. The side streets in question are Markbreit (the street that runs perpendicular to Isabella where the restaurant is), Madison Road and another street that crosses Madison at a T-intersection opposite from where Isabella is. This isn’t a deal breaker as I think it’s something any competent blind traveler needs to be considering when planning transportation, but the travel options for Arthurs look a little more straightforward than for Oakley Pub and Grill.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If Deborah or anyone else more familiar with travel in Oakley / Hyde Park can chime in on this, that would be awesome. Dave: this also might be something you could clue us in on when you visit both restaurants.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>All the Best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
