METRO Meeting, Thursday, June 8th, Ketelsen Elementary School, 600 Quitman Street (at N. Main) from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm - INTERMODAL TERMINAL PUBLIC MEETING

What's an Intermodal Terminal ?? - It's basically a Hub / building(s) where several transit lines end or begin. Several of Metro's bus lines would end/start there; the rail line; the planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) that will be going North to the Intercontinental Airport area and a future commuter rail line that might be built from 290. If you want to see Metro's official announcement you can go to this link - http://www.piersystem.com/go/doc/1068/119275/. If you are not on Metro's e-mail list, you can sign up with Metro and they will notify you directly. Contact them at: http://metrosolutions.org/go/mailinglist/1068/. On May 31st, Metro's board voted to negotiate the purchase of 9 acres of land for this purpose - there is a good article by the Houston Chronicle's Rad Sallee about the Terminal at this link: http://www.piersystem.com/go/doc/1068/119442/.
