City of Berkeley Public Meeting on Bus Rapid Transit

The city of Berkeley is holding a public meeting on April 9th regarding AC Transit's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in North Berkeley Senior Center on 1901 Hearst Avenue at 7pm. Everyone is welcome to attend. Bus Rapid Transit is bus system AC Transit is in the process of getting approval for that will have dedicated bus lanes, vehicles running on cleaner fuel, new bus stops, and capability of controlling traffic lights for an efficient bus schedule.

BRT is still a contested issue because of the multitude of stakeholders - such as merchants on Telegraph Ave. who do not want lose parking spaces for clientèle - as well as people doubtful of BRT's merit who are environmentally conscious, but do not necessary think BRT is the best way to solve the Bay Area's transportation issues.

This is definitely a chance to hear more about BRT and where the City of Berkeley stands on the issue so far.
