The public can weigh in on proposed changes to the city bus routes in a series of meetings starting Tuesday.
New service is proposed for Riverside Drive, Dimond Park, Mendenhall Mall and Stephen Richards Memorial Drive.
Service will continue to downtown and be reduced to the University of Alaska Southeast. Some service to Davis Avenue in Lemon Creek will go away. Service in Douglas will be shifted from St. Ann’s Avenue to the Treadwell Arena.
When the city proposed route changes last year, about a dozen Capital Transit drivers showed up at a Juneau Assembly committee meeting. They said their voices weren’t heard. They were worried about sacrificing popular stops for new ones. Project manager Paul Beck says the drivers were included on the current changes.
After the public meetings, the proposal will go to the Juneau Planning Commission and the assembly. New routes could start in October.
