Facts:
Strengths: Lowellville has many options for the residents to use for transportation if they do not have other ways to get to places. Numerous emergency and private transportation will travel to the City. This allows the residents adequate emergency and non-emergency needs, which improves the health of the community. Lowellville is abundant in sidewalks, which promotes physical activity and a healthier community. Lowellville is not far from many surrounding cities where Doctors offices, emergency services, and grocery stores are available so residents do not have to travel far. Lowellville offers a mini-bus service for their residents that makes it more convenient for the population who does not drive or own a vehicle.
Weaknesses: There is no public transportation bus route that travels to the city on a regular basis. Residents who need this transportation have to call ahead of time; this makes it inconvenient for residents who spontaneously need to get to places. It is also more expensive for the residents than a public bus route would be. This means that more people in the city have to own cars, which in turn adds to money for gas and a car payment and contributes to air pollution. If there was a bus route, more residents might decide to use it instead of driving. Another weakness is that the mini-bus service is very limited in the hours and availability of places to travel; I think the residents of Lowellville would benefit if these hours and availability of places to go could be expanded. The city lacks safety for its bike riders because there are no bike lanes in Lowellville. This is a cause for concern as Lowellville has a major bike trail that runs through it and numerous bike riders are seen on the streets especially during nice weather.
