> Hello everyone,
> 
> The latest version of the BaltimoreLink bus network redesign is now
> available.  In June of 2017, MTA is implementing the BaltimoreLink
> Network to
> 
> improve service quality and reliability of MTA's bus routes.
> BaltimoreLink Network consists of color-coded city link routes that
> connect to
> 
> local routes designated by number in many neighborhoods.  All current
> bus numbers will be changed, but many of the proposed routes will be
> similar to the current routes.  The system also contains sever
> improvements.  For example, the 64 that currently serves National
> Center will be replaced by the City Link Silver that extends to
> University Parkway with select trips to Morgan State University.
> 
> I encourage everyone to study the proposed BaltimoreLink routes.
> Accessible documents are available for download in both pdf and word
> formats

> I have read these documents with jaws, and they can be navigated by
> headings. The tables are readable.  The documents are divided
> 
> into two volumes.  Volume 1 contains an overview of BaltimoreLink.
> Volume 2 contains turn by turn directions for each route.  First, I
> recommend looking at the table "Crosswalk of current and proposed
> routes" to determine which routes you travel regularly.  Then check
> the "route sheet instructions" to see how it might affect your travel.

> Comments can be submitted, until February 21, 2017, and information

> Additionally, public hearings will be held across Baltimore City and
> County from January 4-19, 2017.  The hearings are excellent
> opportunities to talk with MTA staff and ask questions about how the
> new system will affect the routes that you travel regularly.  The
> public hearing schedule is

> I serve on advisory committee for MTA, and I would be happy to discuss
> this further off list.
