Friday's March: The meeting place to get on the Cambus to go out to Hawkeye Park Road and Melrose Ave. is on the corner of Washington and Capitol St. on the Schaeffer Hall side of the street, along that half-block stretch with all the old wood-slatted benches. The route is 'Hawkeye-Interdorm' and the bus leaves at 2:11 and 2:41. It should take approximately 25 minutes to get to the meeting point with the March For Peace. One block from this bus stop is the corner of Washington and Clinton where the Anti-War Vigil will take place at 5:15 on Friday. We are hoping to march from West Iowa City into downtown in time to take part in the vigil. Hopefully, we'll have a crowd waiting for us when we arrive.
This is the MapQuest link to the downtown Hawkeye-Interdorm Cambus stop:http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=E%20Washington%20St%20%26%20S%20Capitol%20St&city=Iowa%20City&state=IA&zipcode=52240&country=US&geodiff=1
The staging area for the march into downtown I.C. is at the corner of Hawkeye Park Road and Melrose Ave. We are hoping to be ready to go by 3pm, so please get there early if you can. However, if anyone is running late or need directions, don't hesitate to call Tim Gauger at 319-936-2307.MapQuest link to march staging area:http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=Melrose%20Ave%20%26%20Hawkins%20Dr&city=Iowa%20City&state=IA&zipcode=52246&country=US&geodiff=1
For anyone who wants to join the march into downtown I.C. at the halfway point, just go to the corner of Melrose Ave. and Hawkins Dr. To take a bus, go to the same bus stop at Capitol and Washington near Schaeffer Hall as indicated above and take the Red Route Cambus at 3:28. It's a 7 minute ride directly to the Hospital bus stop, and a one block walk from there to the Melrose & Hawkins Dr intersection.MapQuest link to Melrose Ave. and Hawkins Drive:http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=Melrose%20Ave%20%26%20Hawkins%20Dr&city=Iowa%20City&state=IA&zipcode=52246&country=US&geodiff=1
