Service optimization consultation starts November 19, 2012

Service optimization consultation starts November 19, 2012

If you picked up the November issue of the Buzzer, you’ll already know that we’re going to start consulting with the public about service optimization in mid-November–November 19 to be specific.

What’s service optimization? In short, it’s part of our ongoing program of managing the transit network by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the network and reallocating services from unproductive routes to where there is more demand. But don’t take my word for it, check out this video of Peter Klitz, a senior planner in TransLink’s Service Planning group. For a more detailed and thorough description of what service optimization is, read our interview with Brian Mills, TransLink’s director of service and infrastructure planning.

There will be two ways you can learn more about our proposed plans for service in 2013 and provide your input: A questionnaire will be available on November 19 until 4pm on December 13, 2012. There will also be these 10 open houses:

November 20 – 4pm – 7:30pm  – Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre, Room B, 181 Roundhouse Mews, Vancouver

November 21 – 4pm – 7:30pm  – Evergreen Cultural Centre, Studio Theatre, 1205 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam

November 22 – 4pm – 7:30pm – Royal City Centre, Community Room, 610 6th Street  New Westminster

November 29 – 4pm – 7:30pm – Mollie Nye House, 940 Lynn Valley Road, North Vancouver

December 12 – 5pm – 7:30 – Gilmore Community School Gym, 50 South Gilmore Avenue, Burnaby

The service changes resulting from this consultation are expected to happen in mid-to late-2013. And remember, there will still be the usual quarterly service changes happening this December, which are not part of this consultation.

So, mark the date of your local event in your calendar, and visit the service optimization page to let TransLink know what you think of the proposed changes for next year!
