Help Us Stop the Rush Line BRT!
We are the No Rush Line Coalition and we seek to stop the Bus Line Invasion proposed by Met Council!
This bus line is unneeded, unwanted, and unaffordable at a projected $475 million dollars. It will completely destroy the character of 95% of the Bruce Vento Trail, and White Bear Lake with 80 buses running through and over this beloved trail and then down Highway 61 every 15 minute of every weekday! These buses are 60 ft long, articulated and require a 'dedicated guideway.' The more you learn about this project, the worse it gets.
Light Rail Ridership overall is way down, remote working is up, and the introduction of light rail pretty much guarantees drugs and crime will follow. There is an existing bus line one block over on English Street (which runs 90% empty buses!)
We're building awareness in order to show our leaders how a vast majority of us feel!
Contributions will be used for various ongoing needs including printing, website, yard signs, advertising & marketing, and booths at Festivals.
Thanks for your support!
Kind regards,
Kit
