The city of Mankato will host a public hearing as part of the Mankato City Council meeting at 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 29 in the Minnesota River Room on the first floor of the Intergovernmental Center, 10 Civic Center Plaza.
The purpose of the hearing is to present proposed changes to existing Monday through Friday and Saturday bus routes. Citizens will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed Monday through Friday and Saturday bus route changes. The proposed changes result from citizen input, gathered through a community questionnaire, a route redesign advisory committee,public presentations and meetings and the city newsletter. Read about the draft alternatives in the Greater Mankato Transit Redesign Study. The mobility bus service will not be affected by any proposed changes.
The purpose of the route redesign was to examine existing bus routes and look for opportunities to provide better service at no increased cost. Proposed routes eliminate the need for transfers between downtown Mankato and the River Hills Mall/Wal-Mart area and between Minnesota State University and the River Hills Mall/Wal-Mart area.
Review the proposed bus routes and provide feedback. For more information contact public works staff at 507-387-8655.
