I am impressed with most of the recent route proposals, especially since it maintained service to my house. I live just off of Libal, so route 15 is of great help to me.

This first comment may seem confusing. Since the eastside changes are essentially extending routes 1 & 2, changing parts of routes 5 & 7, and axing route 14, it makes sense to me that the proposed routes 2 & 14 should be numbered 5 & 2 respectively. Fewer signs would have to be changed.

As for the proposed 11, 15 & 17 lines, the 17 would need to reach Broadview at :30 and/or :00 to connect to routes 11 and 15 (both would be 30 minutes long and would leave downtown at :15 and :45). Ideally, there should be 2 buses on route 17 (to connect with each trip of the 11 & 15 buses). If not, start the 17 on Broadview at 5:30 am & end it on Broadview at 9:30 pm (7:30 am and 6:30 pm respectively on Saturdays), running it every hour.
Thank you for your consideration.
