Notice of Public Hearings for Proposed Route 19 Realignment

The Rapid hereby gives notice that two public meetings will be held to present the proposed realignment of Route 19. If approved, changes will be implemented later this year, either in May or August 2016. There is no additional cost to provide this service.

• Route 19 is the lowest performing route in terms of ridership.
• The proposed realignment would provide 15-minute peak service on Michigan along with Route 13 Michigan/Fuller-North.
• High demand for new service to the Oak Industrial Dr. area for employment purposes.
• High demand for better transit connections to the Bridge and Seward area.

Both public hearings will be held at Rapid Central Station, Conference Room – 2^nd floor.  A language interpreter is available upon request. Please contact Ronda Frazer at 456-7514.

• Wednesday, March 09, 2016,  7:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.                
• Thursday, March 10, 2016,  6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.        

The Rapid staff will be available for questions and/or comments. Written comments may be submitted for the record no later than Wednesday, March 10, 2016.   Please send comments to The Rapid Planning Department, 300 Ellsworth St. SW, Grand Rapids, MI  49503, or via email to gro.diparehtedir@ofni.
