HEADS UP
Transit comment period ending
Everett Transit is developing its 20-year plan, and a public comment period is wrapping up. The results of an earlier survey set frequency of service and coverage areas as the priorities, officials said. An “online open house” to gather more information on those topics closes Tuesday. Translation services are available for many languages.
People also can provide input in person to Everett Transit staff from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Everett Mall. The final plan is expected to be made public next year.
For information on the project and to comment online, go to www.Everett Transit.org/Future.
