The City is looking to make improvements to transit along 52nd Street, with the potential of implementing a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system along 52nd Street. Route 23 (Foothills Industrial) bus travels from Saddletowne all the way down to Seton and it is almost at capacity. Public engagement on this project begins on Monday and here’s how we’re asking you to help share the information out to your communities so they can share their feedback and comments with the folks working on this program.

As part of this process, we are conducting a Functional Planning Study to gather feedback and shape the future of transit along this important corridor
Key details:
