BJCTA hosts public forum on proposed circulator, routes on June 10

newmallbusThis evening the BJCTA will be hosting a public meeting this evening from 5:30 – 7 p.m. downtown at the Alagasco Center for Energy Technology  (20 20th Street South). The focus of the forum will be on taking a fresh look at the development of a downtown circulator route (similar to systems operating in cities like Washington, DC and Nashville, TN).

Odds are if you’re reading this at home on Tuesday evening and not at your desk at work before heading out the door, you’ll probably not be able to attend. (They were also originally asking folks to RSVP – as covered in this piece on AL.com last week – but the folks at Clarus Consulting Group will most likely not turn you away at the door.) If you find yourself still wanting to share your thoughts with our local transit officials, don’t worry — there’s an online survey available for you to use.

The downtown circulator and Birmingham’s future

In case you couldn’t make it to this morning’s ONB breakfast briefing to check out the presentation made by the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham about the possible new bus circulator service, we thought we’d bring the video to you:

For additional information, you’ll want to visit the In Town Transit Partnership’s website.

A new circulator for downtown Birmingham?

breeze-busThat’s what the topic will be at tomorrow’s Operation New Birmingham breakfast briefing, particularly why it would make sense to get on these new buses, the Breeze circulators. Charles Ball, executive director of the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham plans to be available to answer questions about the current status of the three year old In Town Transit Partnership and about how the downtown circulator would serve as the basis of a rethinking of the region’s transit system. You’ll be able to see portions of the presentation on the ITP website beginning late tomorrow morning.

It was also the last topic of conversation during last night’s first #bhamchat; the recap’s up over on my Birmingham.
