Resident urges Sun Valley to support Mountain Rides or face bus service cuts
Summary
Joyce Fabre, Sun Valley's representative on the Mountain Rides board, told the council on June 29 that without a requested funding increase "they will have to cut some of the bus services," and Mayor Hendricks said the city shares concerns about maintaining a vibrant transit system.
Joyce Fabre, identifying herself as Sun Valley's representative on the Mountain Rides board, spoke during public comment and warned that a funding shortfall could force cuts to local bus service. "She mentioned that she cares deeply about the vibrancy and economy of our City and if the funding increase is not granted, they will have to cut some of the bus services," the minutes record.
Mayor Peter Hendricks responded to Fabre's comment by asking her if she could relay back that the city "also have equal concerns about a vibrant system to our City and that we realize the importance of Mountain Rides." The transcript does not record a specific funding request amount or a formal council commitment; the exchange is recorded as public comment and a mayoral acknowledgement.
