You've got chances to voice your opinion coming out your ears lately! And here's another one:
Public transportation planners with the Idaho Transportation Department will seek mobility ideas from citizens in Boundary, Bonner, Kootenai, Shoshone and Benewah Counties at a coordination meeting Wednesday, Feb. 18, in Coeur d'Alene.
The effort is part of a statewide initiative for mobility management that emphasizes moving people instead of modes of transportation.
The meeting will be at the AmeriTel Inn, 333 Ironwood Avenue, from 9 a.m. to Noon with an open house to follow from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Citizens, advocacy groups, transportation providers, human service agencies, and local leaders are encouraged to learn more about and take part in the discussion of mobility services for their region.
Topics will include commuter services to Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint and Spokane; rural park-and-ride lots near bus stations; and improvement of trails and sidewalks to meet American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
The regional meetings will be repeated within 60 days to include bicycle and pedestrian modes. To learn more of the statewide initiative called Idaho's Mobility and Access Pathway (IMAP), call (800) 527-7985.

Any idea what the difference is between the morning meeting and the evening open house? Like, if you could only go to one, which would be more interesting? Which has More opportunity for more meaningful involvement?
TJH, I went straight to the source and called ITD to find out what the difference between the two sessions is. Apparently there isn't a lot of difference; they are offering two different time slots so that people who can't make it during the day can come in the evening, and vice versa. Also, comments and suggestions received during the morning will be available for review at the evening session. So sounds like you can do whatever is most convenient for you.
