On a transit note,the the RT board has backed off of the possibility of eliminating all weekend transit service.While the new worst case scenario still has light rail operating with the current service hours(4 AM-1 AM weekdays,5 AM-1 AM weekends),there is a possibility of bus service hours reduced to the 6 AM-8 PM schedule(even on the strongest routes),or at least reduce some underperforming bus service.While the need to move to the Bay Area is diminished,I still may have to consider moving to another part of town and/or transfer to another Rite Aid(the walking distance to my 2 nearest stores is rather excessive)...
