Hi! If you need any help with this initiative, please let me know. I have never had a drivers licence (having grown up in Chicago and worked in Manhattan and D.C. most of my life) and intend to never get one. I believe if we cut down on the amount of driving we do, we’d make significant progress towards solving the US’s largest problems, global warming and obesity. At any rate, I’m passionate about this issue and while Hanover is fairly pedistrian/biker friendly, the upper valley as a whole is not and there is much room for improvement. We should aim to prove Bill Bryson wrong when he says (in his book, “A Walk in the Woods”) “Hanover is a lovely town for walking, but no one ever does.”).
What: Public Transportation Hub Meeting (#1 of 4)
When: October 1, 2009, 7:00-9:00 PM
The Upper Valley TMA and the Upper Valley-Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission invite the public to discuss building a public transportation hub in the Upper Valley. Known as an Intermodal Facility, the site will link multiple bus lines, feature a park-and-ride lot, and hopefully make public transit access easier for cyclists and pedestrians. This is the first of four meetings and we will lay out the public participation process and answer initial questions about the facility. Future meetings will discuss site selection.
Please visit our wordpress page, http://www.uvtransit.com, and provide feedback on the project.
What: Upper Valley Public Transportation Hub Meeting #2
When: November 17, 2009, 7:00 PM
The Upper Valley TMA and the Upper Valley-Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission invite the public to discuss site options for the construction of a significant park-and-ride lot with connections to public transit providers. This is the second of four public meetings for the Upper Valley Intermodal Facility and the public’s best opportunity to give feedback on the location of this possible facility.
