Summary Number: 5
 
Plan with difficult transportation circumstances in mind.
 
 "Costs of water and transportation will further divide haves and have nots"
 "Poor transportation limits economic growth in the community"
 "Seniors without mobility"
 "Single mom stuck at home"
 "Difficult for kids without cars to get places"
 "A grocery bag limit on buses makes shopping difficult."
 "As we grow, it's going to take longer to get everywhere."
 ". . . although there is shopping within walking distance, it is too dangerous to cross 6 lanes of traffic to get there."
 "While I live within the city limits, it's still at least 1/2 mile to the nearest bus stop."
 ". . . mixed zoning leads to a further distance between destinations and leads to the need to drive a car rather than walk."
 "Rural and outlying areas have almost no access to public transportation."
 ". . . employment is limited when available workers cannot reach all areas"
 "People stay in their cars because otherwise they'll get scorched."
