Metzbower spoke with COTA to talk about the express lines; most
express lines county-wide are being done away with; part of a large
transition; one of the largest in history to change their routes; taking
phone calls on the changes; reassuring to hear that there will be more
lines available and more time slots; still paying attention to this issue.
Renner said MORPC has a van that will cover gaps with COTA;
holiday at the County today; was out with his sons at the parks; very
nice to see what spring will bring.
Angelou also called COTA; she is waiting on a call back; she noted
that they were informed that the passage of the levy wasn't going to
change anything; that Council didn't support the change.
