  • Your New Grtc March 2017 Public Comments/Questions
    YOUR NEW GRTC MARCH 2017 PUBLIC COMMENTS/QUESTIONS DATE QUESTION/COMMENT/FEEDBACK ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS I once again I find myself in the same position of losing bus transportation to and from work each day. Pursuant to our previous conversations, I changed my route from the 66x Spring Rock Green Express to the 64x Stony Point Express. This change did result in additional gasoline and miles traveled as well as a change in my work schedule. Now it is my understanding that the 64x schedule may be changed resulting in a decrease in the number of trips per day. As before I have completed the survey and been made aware of the public meetings. I am not sure that I have any available options to get me to work by 7 am and from work at 3:30 pm once this route is changed or eliminated. 3/3/17 EMAIL I appreciate your comments in this matter. 3/7/17 EMAIL Have the 7-Pines bus on the way to Downtown Richmond service the Airport. 3/8/17 Meeting Every 15 minutes throughout the service hours. 10 Southside Plaza What is the BRT frequency? minutes AM/PM peak 3/8/17 Meeting Southside Plaza Is there going to be a Route 6 reduction? I don't see it on this map. There is no more Route 6. This plan eliminates it. That is correct, the Route 6 was originally planned to be reduced, but stay in place to provide local fixed route service alongside the Pulse. However, with this City 3/8/17 Meeting redesign process, the City took that service to other Southside Plaza But that wasn't in the original plan for the BRT, right? high frequency and coverage routes in the City.
