Tuesday, April 27, 2021 by Tai Moses
Project Connect is kicking off its first round of community engagement this week with three public meetings, on Tuesday, 5:30-7 p.m.; Wednesday, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.; and Thursday, 9-10:30 a.m.The live virtual meetings will focus on station types, amenities and access, and transit planners will share “how bus and rail stations will look and what they might offer.” The meetings will be hosted via Zoom and participants are urged to contribute feedback and ask questions using the Q&A feature. As plans for the Orange and Blue lines and MetroRapid take shape, the project team encourages community members to share their thoughts. To see the planned routes, visit the Project Connect System Map. Public comment will be open through May 21.
