Metro Schedules Community Meetings on Wilshire BRT
We Won't Have to Worry About Local Buses on Rapid Routes after Wilshire Get's BRT
It's been exactly eight months since Streetsblog last checked in on Metro's plan to place a bus-only lane on Wilshire Boulevard, but now Metro is ready to discuss the preliminary results of their environmental studies and solicit feedback from the community on the Bus Rapid Transit treatments for Wilshire Boulevard. While the final result won't be another Orange Line, there's a lot Metro can do to make buses move more quickly on Wilshire Boulevard such as providing signal prioritiazation for all buses or having dedicated bus lanes.
The schedule for these meetings can be found after the jump. For more information on the Wilshire BRT project, check out Metro's project website.
