We did not have our regular committee business meeting this month due to the holiday last Monday. Please join us for our next program on Monday, February 6 at noon, which will look at innovative transit and community development ideas from a grassroots initiative known as the Rio Grande Plan. We look forward to hearing from this initiative’s primary authors and initiators. Watch for more information about that in the coming days.
