Why do your shuttles stop at 8pm? The fireworks start at 9 pm. All those people have to walk home, in the dark a 9:30 pm? So what is the point of the shuttles? To get the people there but abandom them when it's time to go home seems strange. I noticed it is the same for both 250th 4th of July events.
