Today, East Bay Young Dems sent a letter to the Berkeley City Council urging them to support AC Transit’s East Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project by approving the city’s Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) plan. Approval of the LPA is the final step in the BRT study phase. AC Transit will take the LPA’s from Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro and develop a final proposal to be voted on by each city that will allow them to begin construction of the proposed BRT system connecting downtown’s San Leandro, Oakland and Berkeley.
The Berkeley City Council will hold a special council meeting this Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 7:00 pm to discuss the LPA. Residents of Berkeley are encouraged to attend.
