REMINDER: Public forum on Lift Line Expansion
Chris sent out this reminder on Friday…
REMINDER: Public forum on Lift Line Expansion
Thursday, August 9
5 - 8 PM
Edgerton Community Recreation Center
41 Backus Street
(wheelchair accessible, sign language
interpreters provided)
Although the RGRTA Board voted to move forward with a plan to expand the
Lift Line service zone with rides costing $8.50 in the expanded zone,
there is still much that can be done!
Because the public hearing on July 26th was a sham, the RGRTA Board of
Directors really has not heard from the public about this proposal.
Although Mark Aesch had previously committed to participate in our
August 9th forum, it is possible that the protest last week has changed
his mind about his participation.
REGARDLESS, we will have the forum. We expect State Legislators and the
media to be present. It is a great chance to educate them and the
general public about why $8.50 for ONE WAY is far too much for our
people to pay!
We will also record the discussion and statements made by individuals
and provide a summary to Mark Aesch and the RGRTA Board. They can still
find ways to reduce the cost burden on individual riders! Let’s hold
them accountable until they do!
See you Thursday,
Chris Hilderbrant
