The Waite Park Community Council will welcome representatives from Metro Transit at its February 29 board meeting to discuss planned changes to its Johnson Street bus service.

Metro Transit is seeking feedback on potential changes to its Route 4 bus line, including consolidating bus stops as a way to reduce travel times. Three bus stops would be eliminated in Waite Park.

The community is invited to attend the meeting. After a brief presentation by Metro Transit, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and share feedback on its proposal. Waite Park residents and transit users are also encouraged to fill out a survey on the proposed changes on Metro Transit’s website.

The board also plans to discuss preparations for the upcoming annual neighborhood meeting, the 2024 community garden budget, and its recently launched renter household survey. Meeting documents can be viewed here.

The meeting will take place at 7pm Thursday, Feb. 29, at the Waite Park Recreation Center (1810 34th Avenue NE). Go to the main entrance on the north side of the building and press the “Park” button on the post to be buzzed in. There is also a Zoom option here.
