It's down to the wire for West Eugene EmX!

This weekend, I was at the Gateway Mall and ran into the LTD booth at Springfield's Business Expo. I spoke with a wonderful representative of the agency who knew who I was before introducing myself! I was pleasantly surprised. We talked transit, EmX, high-speed rail, etc.

She made sure to point out to me that there are several key meetings coming up that ultimately determine the future of the West Eugene EmX extension, starting with the Eugene city council this Tuesday. Here's the rundown of the upcoming meetings courtesy of LTD.
