Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

University of Georgia student bus service to offer 24 hour service

See "University to add all-night bus service on campus in fall" from the Athens Banner-Herald.

As they so rightly point out in the article:

Going to college is not a 9-to-5 job, something University of Georgia administrators are beginning to realize. Some UGA dining and study halls began opening 24 hours a day about a year ago. To serve the students who want to take advantage of around-the-clock facilities, this fall the UGA Campus Transit System will begin running some buses during the predawn hours.

"They're studying late," UGA Food Services Director J. Michael Floyd said. "We really felt like there was a need for the service.

A 24- or 18-hour city (or place) needs 24-hour or 18-hour transit.

While the photo isn't "porn-enough" for Abercrombie & Fitch or American Apparel, it does show pretty people using transit.
