Keystone Corridor Study Meeting.

Ok, since councilwomen Neoma Jardon derailed the Keystone and Arlington restriping that was planned for earlier this fall, we (local bike advocates and RTC) have fallen back to the trenches.  Fortunately, the southern section of Keystone was already slated for a corridor study.  So, we added the northern section of Keystone to this, so we can positively refute the fictitious "statistics" the councilwomen stated to the rest of the council.

The first public meeting took place two nights ago and was quite the shindig!  RTC brass was out in force including executive director Lee Gibson, Patrice Echola (planner), Michael Moreno (Public relations) Amy Cummings, and Scott Gibson (RTC engineer).  The public also made quite a display with ~40 people showing up and actively filling out question and comment cards.  Out of the crowd I'd say 99 percent were there in support.

Bad photo documenting the early turn out....20 members of the public by 5:20!

Brian Gant (project engineer) discussing the project with one of the attendees.

Look!  We even made the news!

The known issues of the recently added northern section of Keystone.  A systematic study will definitely help debunk the "facts" that were put forward to city council last summer.

The turn out.....not bad for a Tuesday night at dinner time!
