Alternative forms of public transportation in the St. Louis area will be the subject of a work session on public transportation on Tuesday. April 8th from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Heman Park Community Center. 975 Pennsylvania Avenue in University City.
The work session is the first of several “community outreach” meetings to be conducted by the East-West Gateway Coordinating Council.
The East-West Gateway Coordinating Council. the regional planning agency for the metropolitan St. Louis area, regularly undertakes major planning studies in public transportation, highway development, air quality, water quality, housing. land use and sewage treatment issues.
In the April 8th work session, residents of several north county communities will discuss and evaluate the kinds of public transportation systems they would like in their areas. Citizens of the Skinker DeBaliviere. Wellston. Pagedale, Hanley Hills, Vinita Park. Overland. Olivette and University City areas have been invited to participate.
After the sessions. citizen comments will be used to develop the long range mass transit plan prepared by the Gateway Council.
According to the Gateway Council’s Community and Neighborhood program manager. Judy Maschan. “These work sessions are a unique form of citizen participation. Residents will actually have an opportunity to voice their opinions, likes and dislikes on the ground floor of a public transportation plan. It’s unfortunate that this hasn’t always been the case in some planning processes. citizen input has simply been an afterthought.”
The work sessions will all be free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
If you’d like to attend the April 8th work session or want more information. contact Judy Maschan at the Gateway Council at 421.4220, ext. 256.
