Some boarded at Brecksville, while the rest got on at Akron. Everyone was very impressed with their professionalism, volunteerism and customer service. The quality of the rail service is very good, especially north of Akron, where speeds have been raised from 15-25 mph to up to 40 mph in many places. The second-hand (or third-hand) train coaches are in pretty good condition and ride well. The air conditioning was working consistently in all cars, especially on a humid, 90-degree day. The tracks are upgraded, grade crossing gates/flashers are all new, there are many new/rebuilt bridges along the route and the stations are nicely done and well maintained. It shows the benefit of $35 million (mostly from the federal government) worth of infrastructure over the past decade! The food and merchandise offerings in the train cafe cars are great, plus their amenities -- audio/headset tour & route info, Bike Aboard and park ranger programs make passengers feel welcome and engaged. full story FREE Legal Advice Virginia Haynes, Administrative Coordinator The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland is offering FREE LEGAL ADVICE on Civil Matters Only on Thursday, July 22nd 1:00-3:00 p.m. at the Salvation Army Center 716 Broad Street in Elyria. * First Come First Serve Basis *Bring important papers with you *Call 323-8240; or visit www.lasclev.org full story Also Inside Grant Approved for Phase I Alternatives Analysis!!!
