I believe that the firefighters already have their memorial before the bridge.
This bridge represents the businesses between Spring Commons Bridge and the Frank Sinkovich Bridges.
By renaming this bridge is telling the business that the Mahoning Commons Association is no more. This association is very informative and the firefighters have their memorial now lets have the businesses have theirs.
Everyone needs to be at the meetings of the commissioners and voice their opinions about WRTA. Putting messages on this message board does nothing but go back and forth and noone from WRTA sees what is being written.
People need to talk to Mr Ferraro and staff about this.
And as far as restructing, don't promote within, go out from another Transit Authority.
Not just the city residents of Youngstown are paying for this service it's everyone. Have you looked lately at all of the emails with the questions and responses.
The funds between PA and Ohio are split this includes Niles. WRTA recieved all of the funding prior to Niles arriving then there was a restructure of the Region and this now includes PA.
What WRTA needs to look at are the facts and That is why they are in this problem now when they should have look at other various Transit Authority's and see how they run with the same size fleet or less and continue to this day to have a profit and not a loss.
Back in May when it was on the ballot the County Commissioners seemed to not to take part in the problem and even one of them was highly against it. Now they want it back on for November. I had to get a car and share it with a co-worker just so we don't lose our jobs. And to this day it is working very well. So why is the Commissioners all of sudden want to take part in helping WRTA now?!
WRTA can not blame the residents of Youngstown and the surrounding areas for the problem that they have created. They have only themselves to blame. They probably didn't watch what they were doing and just spent the money. And now they want to show what they make. Please!!
If the surrounding areas don't want to support WRTA that is their way of voting.
What we need to do is restructure WRTA as we have done with Downtown Youngstown and the YSU area.

to the previous reader:
This was printed in the VIBE section of Thursday paper and again on Friday on Whats Happening Top 5.
If you read the Vindicator you would have known this, but if you only read online shame on you!!
Next time purchase a paper and you will get more information on what is happening in the Youngstown area.
