By The Chronicle staff On Thursday, a new Twin Transit bus stop on Market Bou- levard in Chehalis was dedicated to longtime transportation activist Jean Farigrieve, who was instrumental in making the bus and transportation service a reality in Lewis County. Employees of Twin Transit, County Commissioner Sean Swope and Chehalis City Man- ager Jill Anderson met Fair- grieve at the bus stop to present her with flowers and show her the plaque that was cemented into the ground next to the bus stop. The new covered bus stop was recently completed. The shoulder of the road was wid- ened so buses can pull over and not block traffic. “You’re a blessing to our community. This small recognition doesn’t speak to all that you’ve done,” Joe Clark, executive director of Twin Transit, said to Fairgrieve. At the Chehalis bus stop, Fairgrieve recalled assembling a group of citizens in the early 1970s who began advocating for a reliable public transportation system. Back then, the bus system in Lewis County was Jared Wenzelburger / [email protected] operated by a man in Olympia From left to right, Chehalis City Manager Jill Anderson, Twin Transit Community Relations Director Andrea Culletto, Twin Transit Executive Director Joe Clark, Jean Fair- who one day decided to stop grieve, and Lewis County Commissioner Sean Swope pose in front of a bus stop that was dedicated to Fairgrieve in Chehalis on Thursday afternoon. the service. Fairgrieve said she was waiting at the bus stop one day, ready to run some errands, when the bus never came. In about 1971, Fairgrieve and a citizens committee started gathering signatures on petitions, contacting the state Department of Transporta- tion and collecting data from frequent bus riders in an effort to bring the bus back or start something new. She found out that the county was required to form public transit to transport seniors to and from the senior center in order to receive funding. The public transportation measure was put on the ballot in 1976. It passed and Twin Transit A plaque is seen during a dedication ceremony for Jean Fairgrieve and a newly Jean Fairgrieve tells stories involving bus routes in Chehalis in front of a newly was born. installed bus stop along South Market Boulevard in Chehalis on Thursday. installed bus stop dedicated to her along South Market Boulevard on Thursday.
