1. PROPOSED VALLEYRIDE CITY BUS SERVICE IN SOUTHWEST BOISE

Valley Regional Transit is soliciting public comment to help in planning for new public bus service in southwest Boise. The proposed route would connect at the Boise Towne Square Mall and travel along a route bordered by Overland Road to the north, Victory Road to the south, Cole Road to the east and Five Mile Road to the west. It may be possible for the bus to make passenger pickups within a quarter-mile of the fixed-line route. The results of this survey will be used by planners to develop a service proposal for the region.
