Metro wants to hear what bus riders have to say about proposed changes to give Mount Airy residents access to Franciscan Hospital's Mount Airy Campus.
Metro representatives will hold a public meeting at 7 p.m. tonight at Mount Airy School, 5730 Colerain Ave.,to discuss the proposals. The options being considered are:
Re-route the Route 17 College Hill bus over North Bend Road and Colerain Avenue before it ends at the Franciscan Hospital-Mount Airy Campus.
This option would delay present Route 17 passengers en route to the hospital. But it provides a link to the hospital for Mount Airy residents.
Deviate some Route 19 trips to the hospital. The bus currently runs on Colerain Avenue between Northgate Mall - Seven Hills.
Deviating some buses to the Franciscan Hospital-Mount Airy campus would give Mount Airy passengers direct service to and from the hospital. It would also give more individuals along lower Colerain avenue access to medical care.
