[nfbwatlk] FW: Metro seeks Sounding Board members

[Jacob Struiksma]

Good morning,

 

Please help us get the word out-Metro is seeking sounding board members for
our Bellevue-Redmond Transit Connections project! 

As indicated in the attached flyer, King County Metro Transit is considering
changes to bus routes near the corridor to be served by the RapidRide
<http://www.kingcounty.gov/transportation/kcdot/MetroTransit/RapidRide/BLine
.aspx> B Line, part of Metro's new "bus
<http://www.kingcounty.gov/transportation/kcdot/MetroTransit/RapidRide.aspx>
rapid transit" service. The B Line will run between the Bellevue and Redmond
transit centers via Crossroads and Overlake beginning in fall 2011. 

 

Metro is forming a community sounding board to provide advice about public
outreach and about what changes to bus service would be best for the local
communities. If you know of anyone that would be interested, please be sure
to pass this information along. We're encouraging people to apply if they
ride the bus frequently, or live or work in a community served by one of the
bus routes listed (221, 222, 225, 229, 230, 233, 240, 245, 246, 247, 248,
249, 250, 253, 261, 265, 266, 271, 272, and 926), and enjoy participating in
a diverse group, with many points of view, to develop recommendations. 

 

The application deadline is August 23, 2010. Applying is easy-just click
here to access our online
<http://www.kingcounty.gov/transportation/kcdot/MetroTransit/AdvisoryGroups/
SoundingBoardApplication.aspx> application.

If you have any questions about the Bellevue-Redmond Connections project or
the sounding board application process, please don't hesitate to contact me
or check out updates on the project website
