Right around the weekend corner is the second CR Transit Study open house. During this round, the consultants from SRF Consulting Group and Bourne Transit will present options that Cedar Rapids could implement to improve our bus system. The consultants and city staff are asking that citizens participate with feedback about what they like and dislike about each of the options. The feedback will be used to create a final recommendation, potentially combining several of the options presented.
There will be two open house times to accommodate more schedules on this Tuesday, October 20th, and the same material will be available at both. The first is from 1pm-3pm in the Celebration room of the African American Museum, located across from the transit station on the corner of 12th Ave and 2nd St in Cedar Rapids. The second will be from 6pm-8pm in Ballroom 2 of the Crowne Plaza. If you are unable to make either of these times, you can still share feedback on the Corridor MPO site once the presentation material is posted, and you can be sure that I’ll share it whenever it’s available.
NTS will be providing free return transportation again, so please contact them at 319-286-5725 by 4:00pm on Monday the 19th if you will need a ride.
I hope to see you there, but more importantly, voice your opinion however you can, whether it be in person or through the website!
