ISSUE: There is a vagrant family in a really down-trodden RV living on 15th St. underneath the Connector. It’s there at least three nights a week, maybe four; they’ve got little kids, bicycles, and it looks like an RV park under the Connector.

Mark Tucker
Michael St.
Boise, ID 83705
ISSUE: He feels it’s an issue when no more than two bikes can be put on the front of the bus. He was informed that he either had to lock his $1,000 bike up on the side of the road on Vista and Overland or wait an hour for the next bus, which may or may not have a spot for his bike. He thinks there should be more options for bikes on the bus and he would like to know what the policy is.
Action Taken: Emailed to ValleyRide
