<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">Hi All,
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">We in the federation family have always done well in travelling to places, riding the buses and just being independent. Whether we walk to our destination or take a bus
or other public transport, we can do it without much trouble. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">However we are facing an new kind of traffic pattern now. Bike lanes and floating bus stops are here. These are covered with truncated doams and color coded. Many intersections
in Montgomery county are like this and are been installed more and more. We will have to do something about it before it is too late. This will take away our freedom to walk on sidewalks and to catch a bus.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif">I do not know if other cities and jurisdictions are using these or have plans for it in their budgets here in MD or other parts of the country. The quiet cars were an hassle
but these changes will impact us also. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
