Transit conversation gaining speed

February 6th, 2009 by jlewismuth

The transit conversation is gaining momentum.  In January another large group gathered at the Northfield Library to learn from City staff about the existing transit system and to discuss the needs that are not being met.  With great care so as not to break a system that is serving a portion of the population quite well, this group has embarked on an exploration of all of the unmet needs in the community and how to creatively meet those needs.  Various subgroups are meeting throughout the month, and the large group will gather again in late February to figure out next steps.  Stay tuned for more information and watch our calendar for the announcement of the next large group meeting…

    As a relatively new resident to Northfield I am basically unaware of the public transportation options available. Could you supply some links or basic data so that we can act as a community and make some solid, well-informed decisions on how the current transit options can expand or better meet the needs of those who use it?

    Amy, here’s a link: Transit -> City of Northfield

    Calling the Northfield Transit at 645-7250 is a way to get some of your questions answered.

    The Northfield Community Resource Center might have additional information.

    More information and links on the northfield.org forums.
