Here are some readers’ recent thoughts on the issues.

Patrick Hatfield:

There’s a great need for public restrooms along the trolley lines! Can you smell the urine? I can. Downtown San Diego has that “urine scent” much like downtown L.A., and it just shouldn’t be! Please install restroom facilities along most trolley stations. Our city is capable of this, and it would make trolley riders more comfortable, along with most people in those areas.

Barry Vollmer:

I am an avid bike rider, road and mountain. But I have little use for the methodology or philosophy of Critical Mass. As far as I’m concerned they do more harm than good. I do my best to accommodate drivers and to not antagonize them. I spend too much time on the road and am way too exposed to be able to afford to piss off anyone behind the wheel.
