Gateway Corridor Open House

There will be an Open House hosted by the Gateway Corridor Commission on July 28 from 5 - 7p at Metropolitan State University's Library. The meeting will be in the EcoLab room on the third floor of the library, which is at 645 East 7th St. (This is between Mounds Boulevard and Maria on Seventh Street...).

This open house will be an opportunity for the community to weigh in on the planning that has already been done to determine the location of the route and the mode of transportation (light rail, commuter rail, or bus rapid transit).

transit is an important feature of D1 life...
In addition to these open houses sponsored by the Gateway Corridor Commission (GCC), the District Council is also working to get neighbors informed about the project, the process, and how they can have an impact on what happens. So contact us! We are working to visit D1 apartment complexes to discuss the project, have a transportation task force that is tracking the work of the GCC, and have held meetings with a variety of neighbors about this.

We will also be working with Dayton's Bluff Community Council and other eastside organizations to apply for a grant for community outreach around this topic. If you are a member of an eastside organization and would like to be a partner in this effort, please contact our office.
