June 3, 2014, Tuesday - Transportation on Tap: The Next Wave of Transit at Republic

Time: 5:00pm - 7:00pm
 
Location: Republic, 221 Cedar Ave S

On Tuesday, June 3, Transit for Livable Communities welcomes you back to Republic for our second Transportation on Tap event of the year! Enjoy light appetizers on us and talk bike, walk, bus, and rail with other TLC members and friends. Our topic this month is The Next Wave of Transit.

In just a few short weeks, the opening of the Green Line will mark a monumental moment in the Twin Cities’s transit trajectory—but what’s next? How will specific transit plans and priorities shape the future of our cities? And how do we keep up the momentum for expanding transit options throughout the metro?

This Transportation on Tap, TLC has invited panelists from the City of Minneapolis, Metro Transit, and the City of Saint Paul to discuss the next wave of transit and transportation in the Twin Cities. We’ll focus on immediate plans for new bus rapid transit and modern streetcar service, including how bike/ped access and community engagement factor into upcoming projects. Bring your questions for another lively conversation!

All are welcome, but RSVPs are always appreciated.

Featured Panel:

Michelle Beaulieu, City Planner, City of Saint Paul
Katie Roth, Senior Planner, Metro Transit
Peter Wagenius, Policy Director, City of Minneapolis
Dave Van Hattum (moderator), Senior Policy Advocate, Transit for Livable Communities
