Two things have been brought to my attention, the crossover on the bridge has been operating with a flashing red light instead of green, which is a passenger comfort issue and that tenmile per hour speed limit signs have been added to the bus deck which is designed for buses operating at 20 Miles Per Hour and that will be a limiting factor and also could be causing the bus fountains to behave anemically.
