The Hamilton County GOP wants to move the Board of Elections out to the old Mercy Hospital in Mt Airy. That's where you go for early voting. Currently only the 17, 19 & 38x go out that way, the 38x being a limited service route & the 17 just being one of four 17s, who at best, only run about once an hour. The trip by bus would be much longer for most folks as opposed to the trips to the current location at the hub of transit activity in the region.
The local Dem head yammers on about black people & the GOP yammers on about free parking. Yeah, Republicans and their "free stuff" again.
Current travel times look like this
1 hr - Mt Washington
.25 - .5 hr Clifton
.5 - 1 hr - Oakley
.5 - 1 hr - Westwood
.75 hr - Madisonville
.75 - 1 hr - Sayler Park
1.25 hr Harrison
1 - 1.25 hr - Forest Park
.75 hr - Terrace Park
1.5 hr - Green Township
To get to the Mt Airy facility, times look like this
1.5 - 2 hr - Mt Washington
.75 hr - Clifton
1 - 1.75 hr - Oakley
.5 - 1 hr min - Westwood
1.5 - 1.75 hr - Madisonville
1.75 - 2 hr - Sayler Park
2 - 2.75 hr - Harrison
1 hr - Forest Park
1.25 - 2 hr - Terrace Park
1 - 1.25 hr - Green Township
Triatafilou's cronies in Green Township would get a bit shorter ride. All the locations he cites involve some walking, of course.
