Yes, I saw that rule about shopping carts being folded on buses. How do you fold a shopping cart, though, when it's filled wiith grocery bags?
I guess they expect people to take the bags out similar to having a baby stroller/carriage folded with the baby out of it(also mentioned in that list).
They had a booth at the Farmers Market this fall and I stopped to look at their proposal.
Quite frankly it sounds to me like they want to return that part of the street network back towards more of what it was like in the '50s before Rte 13 cut a swath through the neighborhood around Dey and Third streets
Several people have told me that it is possible to walk from 221 S. Geneva St. to 500 S Meadows St. (to Wegmans and Walmart). They said it's a distance of only .70 miles. Looking at a street map of downtown Ithaca, it does look like a fairly straightforward walk but there's a curve going down to Wegmans. Is it feasible to walk; is it only about 12 blocks or so? I know taking a bus is an option but I can't really see lugging a shopping cart on and off a bus. My future move to Ithaca really depends on answers I may get on this forum so I thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
As someone who lives in Ithaca, you can easily walk this or take the bus. Walking to 13/S. Meadow is not popular and not pedestrian friendly, but it is possible. You can take the bus but the TCAT is incredibly inconsistent, you could see 30-60 minute headways waiting for buses on either end of your journey.
The GreenStar that was posted above is hardy a legitimate grocery store option.

There are multiple Green Star locations in the city/area and the point was that it is an option versus being used for one stop shopping. I’ve been to the location on Cascadilla and it is bigger than that location.
Thanks for everyone who replied. I was thinking that a TCAT bus or Gadabout would be options but they wouldn't allow a shopping cart onboard. Even if I did the shopping trip even twice a month, I would need a cart to lug it all back to my apartment. Obviously, I am now seriously re-thinking a relocation to Ithaca. It's a gorgeous area but practicality must take priority.
