Re: Mass Transit Update! - Important
I completely understand that. I'm one of the ones working behind the scenes on this effort. It'd be nice to have more citizens put their money where their mouth is. Show up at COPTA meetings, City Council meetings, etc. Sadly, it's been almost all talk by citizens. PLEASEEEEEEEEEE attend the City Council's transit workshop on the 19th if any of you can. Again, citizens won't get to talk, but our presence will speak volumes to the City Council that the public does care about mass transit and to getting them to put a line item in next years budget for mass transit. It is a very real possibility. This first phase wouldn't require a public vote, the city is already realizing their is a problem for tourists/downtown residents/workers. That's over 60,000 people alone. This would definitely be successful if implemented properly, THEN the public and city would see how successful a modern system could be and then a broader system can go to a public vote for MAPS 3.
