One thought on “Mayoral candidates on board with bus rapid transit expansion

  1. All across the city, residents are complaining non-stop about how BRT was implemented, especially the removal of traffic lanes and the route up congested College Avenue. (I won’t even get into the ridiculous proposal to eliminate all but two traffic lanes on West Washington, which is to come in the next stage.) And where are our mayoral candidates on the issue? They couldn’t care less what the public thinks. If you wonder why someone like Merritt isn’t getting any traction with Indianapolis voters, you only have to look at his response on this issue. We Republicans need someone in office who will fight for taxpayers and what is in the best interests of residents, not the best interest of developers. If Merritt isn’t going to do that, and he’s shown no interest in doing so, we might as well have a relatively moderate Democrat like Hogsett.
