As I’ve written about, the Milwaukee County Transit System is proposing major service cuts in 2012, including several that would directly impact South Milwaukee and the South Shore.
The biggest impact locally? The end of Route 15 in South Milwaukee and all Freeway Flyers.
Learn more about what’s planned — and share your feedback — at several community meetings presented by Transit Now, a transit advocacy group. Two are on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the Cudahy Family Library. One meeting is from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., and the other is from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m.
Other meetings are planned Sept. 7-8 in Brown Deer.
County Supervisor Pat Jursik, Milwaukee County Supervisor Jason Haas and Kerry Thomas, executive director of Transit Now, will present at the Cudahy meetings, which are also sponsored by The Gateway to Milwaukee, South Suburban Chamber of Commerce and the Milwaukee Aging Consortium.
The goals of both meetings?
- Learn about the proposal to reduce and restructure Milwaukee County Transit System, including how changes could impact businesses’ access to workers and customers and individuals’ access to jobs, shopping, health care and other critical destinations.
- Share your insights and feedback.
- Find out ways that you can have a voice in the plan.
