Community Workshop on AC Transit’s “Line 51A & B Corridor Delay Reduction/Sustainability Project” AC Transit and the City of Berkeley Public Works Department will hold two community meetings to gather input on potential improvements to the Line 51B bus corridor. The first meeting will be held Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at La Quinta Inn, 920 University Avenue. The second meeting will be on Thursday, August 29, 2013 at the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts 2640 College Avenue. Lines 51A & 51B are two of the most heavily used bus routes in the East Bay, carrying a combined 19,000 passengers a day to Berkeley, Oakland, and Alameda. Service has been unreliable due to bus bunching, late vehicle arrivals and overcrowded buses. AC Transit has received a $10 million grant to design and implement infrastructure modifications along the route that would increase reliability and on-time performance, decrease travel time, and improve safety for AC Transit riders and pedestrians. The meetings will be working sessions to present and review proposed improvements for the portion of the Line 51 bus corridor which runs along University Avenue between Acton Street and Shattuck, followed by small group discussions about the potential changes. For more information about the proposed improvements, go online at actransit.org/planning-focus/projects-in-the-works/projects-in-the-works-4/. Written comments on the changes can also be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on September 9, 2013 to Tammy Kyllo, AC Transit, Administrative Coordinator at 1600 Franklin Street, Oakland, CA 94612 or by email at [email protected]. All comments will be part of the official public record. The City of Berkeley Transportation Commission will review the recommended options on September 16, 2013.
