Transit Strategy Workshop — 6:00pm, Tuesday, May 17, 2016 @ Room 4, Terwillegar Recreation Centre, 2051 Leger Road, Edmonton, AB
http://www.edmonton.ca/transportation/transit-strategy.aspx
Starts: 6:00pmEnds: Tuesday, May 17, 2016 - 9:00pmDescription:http://www.edmonton.ca/transportation/transit-strategy.aspx
You are invited to help Edmonton make choices for a future plan for transit. There will be two workshops you can attend.
Register online.
It’s time to create a Transit Strategy that supports Edmonton’s future as a great city. Edmonton is growing quickly and our community needs are changing. We should ask ourselves how transit can best support the city we want to live in ten years from now.
But everyone has different ideas about what makes a bus and LRT system great: Is it fast and modern? Does it travel to every neighbourhood? Does it shape growth of communities? Do the transit stations display works of art?
