People For a Better Bus Station Pay RGRTA a Visit with over 60 Letters

As the public input period came to a close, PFABBS came to RGRTA to mark the end of the period as well as to deliver more than 60 letters written by citizens with concerns and questions about the proposed bus terminal.

As the public input period of only two weeks drew to a close on December 15, about twenty members of the citizens' group PFABBS, or "People for a Better Bus Station" converged upon the sidewalks of the RGRTA (Rochester Genesee Regional Transit Authority) with signs bringing to light the bus station issue while other members hand delivered more than sixty letters from citizens voicing concerns and questions.
Members of the group marked the close of the public input period of only two weeks at the end of the work day gathered on the East Main Street sidewalk as the skies turned dark over Rochester, facing traffic headed home from downtown businesses that evening at rush hour.
Those in attendance from PFABBS represented the much larger group and marked the close of public comment at five o'clock with two members of the group, Andy Stainton and Greg Newton playing "Taps" on saxophone.
People for a Better Bus Station is calling for an extention of the public input period. No word has been made public to date of such an extension.
PFABBS is a diverse citizens' group comprised of various members of the local community and includes architects, engineers, urban planners, other professionals as well as activists and other citizens.

The next meeting of PFABBS will be held on Thursday, January 8th, at 7-9 pm at the Gleason Auditorium of the Rochester Rundel Library downtown.
