Downtown DASH to get makeover
[Source: EV Living] — Downtown Phoenix is growing and the long-time downtown circulator DASH is changing with it. The City of Phoenix Public Transit Department is proposing a partial change to the DASH route and its frequency of service. The new DASH routing will link it directly to light rail, scheduled to start in December 2008, and local and commuter buses that bring workers and students into the area. According to city officials, all changes will be done within the current budget. Also, the nine DASH buses are scheduled for a new paint job.
The public is invited to any of the following open houses to review the proposed changes:
-
February 26, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Central Station, Central Ave. and Van Buren.
-
March 19, 2 to 4 p.m., Phoenix Convention Center, 2nd St. and Adams.
-
April 2, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Phoenix City Hall, Washington and 3rd Ave.
A public hearing on the changes will be held before the Citizens Transit Commission on April 3 at 302 N. Central Ave. before a report goes to Phoenix City Council. For more information, click here or call 602-262-7242.
