CityBus to hold five public meetings on route, schedule changes; officials confirm stop sign removals and additions
Summary
Randy Anderson said CityBus will hold five public meetings through the end of July to discuss service reductions tied to budget cuts; committee members confirmed plans to remove some stop signage and install additional stops as part of the changes.
Randy Anderson (GLPTC) told the Technical Transportation Committee on June 17 that CityBus route and schedule changes linked to a budget reduction will be discussed at five public meetings scheduled through the end of July.
Bill Smith (INDOT) asked whether signs at bus stop locations would be removed if stops were no longer offered and requested that sign posts also be removed. Randy Anderson confirmed the project includes removing signs from stops being eliminated and installing some additional stops.
Bill Smith also introduced Chris Wheeler as INDOT's new technical services director and noted Wheeler will take over as INDOT's voting member on the committee.
Why it matters: service reductions and stop removals affect transit access for riders; public meetings provide an opportunity for input on proposed changes and stop locations.
Next steps: CityBus will hold the announced public meetings; staff will incorporate feedback into final route and schedule decisions and will address signage and stop-post removals as part of implementation.
