Gary,
I am following up with information on the next community input 
opportunity for Lawrence Transit bus route redesign. We hope that you 
might encourage neighborhood residents to take Survey #2 at 
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lawrenceks.org%2Flistens%2Fsurveys&data=04%7C01%7Celectronic-lan%40lists.ku.edu%7Ca86951874d664ea247b308d8b5ac7931%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637459099655645187%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2FMaHAyXGYt%2BP%2B4LKtGem0dusSU6qWDjiwPZFhRXg%2BIk%3D&reserved=0

that closes at 11:59pm on Friday 1/15/21.
In Fall 2020, Lawrence Transit began work on the first of two route 
redesign studies. These studies will help inform the development of a 
new multimodal transfer facility for buses, planned to open in 2022. 631 
people responded to a survey in September 2020 that gathered information 
about transportation patterns and the use of transit by people in 
Lawrence. Then, a KU Urban Planning class provided a literature review 
and data analysis before proposing three route redesign scenarios to 
generate public discussion on different bus route concepts for Lawrence. 
Please see lawrencetransit.org/transfer-facility 
<https://sunsethillna.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ba38e00cb461a6b635e19e5e1&id=da38ec8654&e=1ace9f3514> for 
the full analysis and report.
We would like to hear your thoughts on what you do and do not like about 
the three proposed scenarios. Responses to this survey will inform a 
consultant-led route redesign study in 2021, which will ultimately 
determine what the future of Lawrence bus routes looks like. A key 
purpose to this survey is to explore new concepts and determine which 
may have merit for further consideration and study by the consultant 
this spring.
I am happy to answer any questions you might have and would like to 
emphasize that we want to hear from people who do and do not ride the 
bus, as we hope our future routes are beneficial to existing and new 
users of transit.
Best,
