Disabled Salt Lake Vets Face Bus Nightmare
Military Veterans who receive medical care at the VA Hospital in Salt Lake City are upset about proposed changes to their mass transit service,which under a proposed redesign means buses no longer would stop at hospital's main entrance.

Instead, the Utah Transit Authority's proposed new 203 bus would drop off and pick up VA patients and employees on Foothill Boulevard,requiring a walk to a curb a couple of blocks away or across the busy arterial." A guy with a cane or wheelchair or walker, walking two blocks in the weather to try to get to a bus, it's ridiculous," said resident Ray Stephens.

I suspect the "weathervane express" will be looking for a gig soon.
