RTA threatens neighborhood service

The RTA is threatening to eliminate and reduce several routes through the neighborhood. While we understand current budget challenges facing the RTA, it is imperative that the neighborhood speak out against these changes.

The proposed changes include no evening or weekend service for the #34 and #37. Even worse, RTA is proposing to only run #39 during rush hours. These changes represent a drastic reduction in service to the North Collinwood neighborhood!

Please voice your feelings about these changes by sending an e-mail to public-comment@gcrta.org or attending a public meeting. The public meeting schedule is listed at http://www.riderta.com/hearings/ but please note the closest meeting will occur on Tuesday, January 5th from 5:00 - 7:00 pm at the Euclid Public Library (631 East 222nd Street).

If you are interested in all the proposed changes, full details are available at http://www.riderta.com/budgetchallenges/2010fareservice.asp
