Invite to MobCom Light Rail Deep-Dive @ 1pm

[Paige Ellis]

Colleagues,

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 1pm in Council Chambers, the Mobility Committee will hold a deep-dive session on the Project Connect light rail core system options. Staff from ATP, Capital Metro, and the City will be participating, and we hope all of you will join us for this important discussion about the tradeoffs and decisions ahead.

We anticipate staff will be sharing emerging themes from community engagement to-date, any new information or analysis important in our consideration of the options, and the process moving forward towards the staff recommendation and a Joint Partnership vote, tentatively slated for June 6.

After the presentations, we will have ample time for discussion and Q&A, so please come with your questions for ATP, CapMetro, and City staff! You may find the following resources helpful:
