Would like to see the system modiifed. Against Dial-A-Ride: says it's not an effec- tive way of utilizing transportation. Fav- ors fixed-route sys- tem and limiting Dial-A-Ride to handi- capped and senior citizens. Ought to clean up township pockets and peninsulas where people enjoy use of city services. Bring in light industry. More parking in the downtown area. Pos- sibly redirect some of. the Dial-A-Ride serv- ice into a reliable, inexpensive shuttle service from outijing areas. Supports addi- tional structures funded through gen- eral obligation bonds The WANT squad and anti-burglary unit are important and useful units. Should seek out the small drug push- ers as well as the large dealers. Garbage pick-up is as good as can be ex- pected without a tax increase. Snow re- moval needs to be improved. Fix pot holes through general obligation bonding or federal money. Inequitable for city not to be compensated for revenue lost from the U not paying taxes. Need strong lobbying to "turn the tide." U should meet demands for more housing, "but I don't think they have enough money." bays wheeier has used "bureaucratic overkill" to smother the money coming principally from the CDBG. Opposes mayor's plan for neighborhood centers, questions whether the money is getting to the people. -it s au reiauve. j has to be taken in a total budget context.
