Royal Oak

The latest scoop on mass transit projects for 2009 (Woodward light rail and Detroit-Ann Arbor commuter rail) will be out and open to the public this week and next. That's when some of Metro Detroit's biggest leaders and mass transit advocates will talk about what's slated to get underway.

The first meeting will be a Transit Town Hall in Royal Oak. State Rep. Marie Donigan (D-Royal Oak), Megan Owens of Transportation Riders United and Transit Czar John Hertel's right-hand man John Swatosh will speak and answer questions. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at St. John's Episcopal Church, 26998 Woodward Ave.

TRU will also hold its annual meeting on Jan. 27 at a site yet to be determined. The main topic of discussion will be Metro Detroit's new regional transit plan. Those attending will talk about specific parts of the plans and what needs to be done to make those parts a reality.

For information on either event, send an email to trumember@detroittransit.org or call (313) 963-8872.
