>Dear all,
Thanks everyone for your support regarding the Shuttle Bus through the Heights. Last night the Village Council came back with a modified version of the Shuttle Bus project, which was a direct result of our concerted effort and making our voices heard. Although there were still some heated debate and commentary, most of us walked away feeling that this was a good compromise for the time being.
The modification is as follows:
~NJT will provide a smaller bus for 10 passengers plus one handicap seat within the next week.
~The schedule will remain the same: M-F morning and evening rush hour there will be a 15 loop, M – F & S/S daytime schedule will run hourly.
~The rush hour loop will be rerouted to Hillcrest, Glen, Oak to the train station and back.
~The daytime schedule will run through the Heights for the seniors.
Follow up points:
~It was asked that NJT ensure that background checks are completed on all of the drivers assigned to our area.
~The bus schedule may also be amended based on rider use.
Thanks again to all that have helped with the many emails and phone calls.
And a special thanks to those who attended last night with their kids! (The kids were especially well behaved, model citizens).
Sincerely,
Angela, Allison, Carla, Jeff, Dave, Dohyun, Craig, & Bill.
