This is a reminder that the CITY meeting on Transport 2020 will be this coming Tuesday evening, Jan 21 at 6:30 pm.
Below is the original message that Chuck sent out with details about why this is important. The County passed Transport 2020. Now we need the city to sign on. Please make a call or send an email. Or.... show up! -- Robbie ****************** from Fred Bartol, of DART (Dane Alliance for Rail Transit); remember, more alternatives to cars is good for bikes in many ways....so please contact your county supervisors and city alders, BEFORE their respective meetings on the issue this Thursday 01/09, and Tuesday 01/21..... Last fall the Transport 2020 advisory committee concluded more than two years' intensive analysis of transit alternatives, unanimously recommending a multi-modal regional transit system that combines expanded bus service, commuter rail, and, in a later phase, a downtown Madison streetcar. A resolution endorsing that recommendation and creating an implementation task force is scheduled for action by the Dane County Board at its next meeting, Thursday evening, January 9 (7:30 p.m. in Room 201, City-County Bldg.). A parallel resolution is scheduled for action by the Madison Common Council on Tuesday evening, January 21 (presentation on Transport 2020 at 5:45, also in Room 201 CCB). Although the resolution does not commit the region to any particular transit investment, it establishes a process and a framework for a more detailed study of the design, environmental impacts, financing, and administration of a regional transit system along the lines laid out by Transport 2020. Those interested in seeing the city and county move forward with regional transit planning that includes rail are encouraged to contact their County Board supervisors and, in the case of Madison residents, their Madison alders, and/or register at the meetings on the 9th and 21st. Full and summary versions of the final Transport 2020 report, along with the text of the resolution, are available online at www.transport2020.net.
