Subj: Subj: Northwest Transit Study Work Resumes Date: 11/28/05 6:00:30 PM Central Standard Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Northwest_Metro_Study) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
November 28, 2005 Dear Northwest Metro Transit Study Stakeholders, Metro Transit is pleased to announce that work has resumed on our Northwest Metro Transit Study. This route restructuring study, which includes transit service in north Minneapolis and the northwest suburban communities between the Mississsippi River and TH 55, was put on hold last spring due to our uncertain funding situation. Now the issue has been resolved and we are eager to get back to work on this project. Planners will be developing a concept service plan over the next several months. Our goal is to present the conceptual plan at several open houses and an official public hearing in Spring 2006. After the official public comment period, we will modify the proposed plan based on feedback received. Metro Transit plans to bring the revised proposal to the Metropolitan Council for approval in Summer 2006, with implementation set for early 2007. We very much look forward to hearing your input and suggestions as we work to restructure the bus routes in north Minneapolis and the northwest suburbs. If you have questions or would like to discuss the study, please contact Cyndi Harper, Northwest Metro Transit Study project manager. She can be reached at (612) 349-7723 or via e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Additional information about the Northwest Metro Transit Study is available on Metro Transit's website at http://www.metrotransit.org/improvingTransit/northwestRestructuring.asp. Thank you for your involvement in the Northwest Metro Transit Study.
