All Mercer Island residents who ride Metro buses, and any others concerned by the imminent and severe service reductions to bus service, are invited by Mayor Bassett to attend a town hall-style community meeting between 5:30 and 7 p.m., Oct. 2, at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center.
The Mayor and City staff will reveal findings from the bus-rider surveycurrently underway, and will enumerate some of the possible solutions under discussion. So far, 400 riders have responded to the survey in person or online.
Bus riders will be offered the opportunity to break out into discussion groups, based on the route(s) they use the most. Public input is important at this phase of the process to gauge the level of interest in the variety of alternatives researched so far, and to solicit other suggestions.
For more, contact Assistant City Manager Kirsten Taylor.
