<br />4. Little boy of 11- <br />- "Many people like my sisters and I depend on the LYNX to get to school every day." <br />- a change in the LYNX service will disrupt their lifestyles <br />-the inconvenience may force many students to change schools <br />-many people other than children depend on the LYNX <br />-example: Recently, his bus driver tripped on the sidewalk and hit his head upon a pile of <br />bricks. His head burst open and blood ran down his face. The only way he could seek <br />help to the hospital and return home was solely through the LYNX service <br /> <br />5. Leslie Dong ( me) <br />-representative of the Louisville Youth Advisory Board (Y AB), speaks on the behalf of <br />all youth that will be impacted by this change and specifically for the current students of <br />Monarch K8 and high school <br />- LYNX has always provided a distinct convenience to all residents living within <br />proximity to it, and an uncountable amount of families virtually depend on it (I myself <br />have taken the LYNX bus) <br />-One of the greatest reasons why the LYNX service was unable to meet their threshold <br />needs to continue operating may be due to the change of scheduling. Last year, the <br />closest bus that would arrive after school was at 3: 13. But it has now been changed to <br />3:09. <br />- Those few minutes has made it very difficult for students to make it to the bus stop on <br />time. In fact, it's virtually impossible for the high school students to make it there (this is <br />also a personal experience). <br />-If you missed that bus, then you'll have to wait another thirty minutes. The <br />inconvenience has caused many families to find different alternatives such as carpooling, <br />driving, etc. <br />-Kids rely on the LYNX to get home. Most parents are unable to drop them off or even <br />pick them up. And for the children that live within the Superior/Louisville Area, the <br />school does not provide any bus services to transport the kids. <br /> <br />6. Louis- <br />-doesn't want to drive, but then has to turn to other alternatives such as walking and <br />biking if the LYNX was shut down <br />-Call n' rides are always overloaded, they constantly only take known or frequent riders <br />- proposal: find a way to "float" a service through the rush and rise times of a day. The <br />potential business will increase and the threshold will be more easily met. <br />- "I've ridden the LYNX for at least 200 times this year alone." <br /> <br />7. Helen- <br />- LYNX promotion is not enough <br />-barely anyone knows where it goes <br />-new riders find it difficult to learn about the service <br />-increase promotion = increase business <br />
