You may want to attend this if you’re concerned about enhancements to the transit system, including the Village iBus, Metrobus service and other service. The idea is to improve accessibility, connectivity, mobility and safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders through the placement of community-level mobility hubs with the Village’s roadway network. There will be two public meetings at the Village Hall to get input from residents and stakeholders, share information and conceptual designs. Graphics will be displayed and the project team will be there to answer any questions.
