Reminder: Tomorrow - Wed, Feb 9, 6:00-8:00 PM - there will be a public hearing on the draft RTA plan. The meeting will be held at the Fitchburg City Hall, 5520 Lacy Rd.
This plan would be the basis for any referendum that might be on the ballot, either this April or at a later date. The draft plan is NOT a full plan for when, where, or how often buses will run, or what other services will be considered, however, it is a broad overview of the types of services that would be included in the RTA: express bus service, service to new areas, improved service to areas currently served, and infrastructure and equipment improvements. The plan is fairly short (16 pages), so easy to read. It's worth a look even if you do not plan to attend the meeting, and certainly should be the basis of comments if you do attend. You can find the plan here: http://danecountyrta.org/images/stories/PDF/Draft-Plan-Transit-Recommended-for-Hearing.pdf http://danecountyrta.org/images/stories/PDF/Draft-Plan-Transit-Recommended-for-Hearing.pdf There is a bus from the South Transfer Point to Fish Hatchery Rd and Lacy, about a half mile from the hearing, and of course, the Cap City Trail runs behind the location. Getting back into town from Fitchburg could be a challenge, as I think the # 44 runs only during peak hour. However, I'm guessing that others at the meeting with cars would be willing to provide a ride to a more transit-friendly location at the end of the meeting. In addition, I believe Fitchburg Alder Steve Arnold is working on providing bus service from the hearing back to the South Transfer Point and downtown.
