From Cornell or Collegetown via TCAT bus:

Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit buses are $1.50. Semester and monthly passes are available. CU students can just flash their ID for a ride. Route #10 runs by the studio on weekdays only. The last run will go past the studio at 7:10 pm so the last lesson you can take it to and from the studio is the 6:10 lesson, if you leave precisely at 7:00 pm. You can get here for a 7:10 lesson, but won't be able to take the bus back.

Take Route #10 from any stop along Central Avenue (Lincoln, Day, or Sage Halls), from Anabel Taylor Hall, or from The Center for Theatre Arts. The Shuttle stops at the Seneca Street parking garage and will leave on the hour (you'll have to figure out when to take it from campus to have the right timing), going via Tioga Street to Tioga and Court Streets (stop), then via Court Street to Linn Street (stop), and then travel up UNIVERSITY Avenue, passing Cornell Street on your right. 502 UNIVERSITY AVENUE is six houses above Cornell Street, on the left. It is a small red house with a white porch and a dark grey mansard roof set back from the street. When you see the house, signal for a stop and the bus will leave you off at the next corner, from which you walk back down. My studio is in the first floor, on the left side of the building, the orange door at the bottom of the stairs.

From Ithaca College:

Approach downtown Ithaca via AURORA Street. Once on the "flats" of downtown, count traffic lights: #1 - The Commons, #2 - Seneca Street, #3 - Buffalo Street, #4 - COURT Street. Turn right on COURT Street. One block later, COURT Street ends: you must turn left onto LINN Street for only about 100 yards. Cross the bridge over the Cascadilla Creek and bear right up the hill onto UNIVERSITY Avenue [Landmark: large stone retaining wall on your right around a sharp curve]. Travel up UNIVERSITY Avenue, passing Cornell Street on your right. 502 UNIVERSITY AVENUE is six houses above Cornell Street, on the left.

Take Route #11 from the Park School at :47 after the hour (be there early!). Ask for a transfer to Route 10 as you pay your fare. Get off #11 bus at the SENECA stop (first stop once you're on the flats of downtown). From stop position (1) walk back to bus stop position (2). The Route 10 Shuttle stops at the SENECA stop, position (2), and will leave on the hour going via Tioga Street to the corner of Tioga and Court Streets (stop), then turn right and travel via Court Street to Linn Street (stop), and then travel up UNIVERSITY Avenue, passing Cornell Street on your right. 502 UNIVERSITY AVENUE is six houses above Cornell Street, on the left.
