2024-03-18 Lynchburg Urban Network Meeting Notes

Welcome and introduction of newcomers
Review of Lynchburg Road Issues github
Bus stop stickers
- Need for regular maintenance with route changes
Info about bus changes:
- routes 6 and 7 (maybe some more, including airport run of route 4) going away and replacing with microtransit
- some important fixed routes will still be there
- microtransit rides will cost same as single bus ride
Outreach
- Email newsletter - send out week before each monthly meeting, Ruth will get a format concept together for next month
- Tiktok?
- Instagram?
- Do more stuff with X and Facebook
- Coordinate them all
Campbell Ave intersection redesign
- New budget proposal cuts out funding for reconstruction of intersection
- Funding instead goes to 501/221 project that we are deeming too big to try to address
- Would like to return the funds to Campbell Ave
Reaching out to city people
- Add city council, etc public email addresses onto list
- Find liaisons w/ city departments
- Partner with other local organizations that have already built relationships with city
