I ride NorthStar and the Green Line to work for the first time. We’ll see how that works out.
3 additional Stops
It was 3 stops and not just 2. This was a major victory for the environmental justice communities on East University Avenue – historic Rondo and Asian residents and business owners. They formed the Stops for Us Coalition who received the National Achievement for Environmental Justice from the EPA in 2010 http://www.epa.gov/compliance/environmentaljustice/resources/publications/awards/2010/trans-equity.pdf
This organizing effort also changed federal policy on how all federal New Starts project are evaluated and was recognized by Peter Rogoff, FTA administrator in his acceptance speech for the TEN Rosa Parks Award http://www.metrostability.org/campaigns/article.php?sid=Transit_Equity
The community came together to write their own story on this important organizing campaign “Stops for Us! Organizing for Equity Along the Central Corridor” http://www.metrostability.org/efiles/stopsforus_final.pdf
Its an important story should be told right!
