Expanding the Metropolitan Planning Organization this time and incorporating Ausmville into it looks to be a little tricky. The Policy Committee for our MPO meets today, and they'll be considering engaging some external services to facilitate and perhaps mediate the conversation.
I am not sure there is anything new to say at the moment on it, or other topics also, so this is just a brief, summary post.

| "Enlist...a facilitator"? |
And conversation on cost escalation continues.
 |
| $4 Million on McGilchrist possibly still in play |
On both topics see earlier this month at the technical committee. It does not seem that either topic has advanced a great deal:
 |
| On EV mania |
One item to watch is the infrastructure cost to run a small fleet of electric buses. Some transit professionals are advocating caution. If operating an electric bus cuts into frequency of service or to less coverage, it may be that the trade-off is not actually valuable.

Others suggest that projects for transit priority, like dedicated lanes, even with diesel buses are more valuable than electric buses. Service rather than vehicle remains most important.

Just something to watch as Cherriots rolls out the electric bus fleet.
The Policy Committee meets at noon today, Tuesday the 27th. Meeting information with the agenda and packet is here.
Addendum
Look! Signal priority. I missed this in April.
