News release from Citilink:
Citilink requests comments on proposed service changes
In preparation for the move to the new Citilink Central Station, at the corner of Calhoun and Baker Streets, Citilink is accepting comment on proposed route adjustments that will be necessary. Downtown travel patterns will change for every route that provides transfer opportunities downtown. Several routes have been modified to allow for the extra time it will take to travel to the new station on the south side of downtown. In developing these proposed revisions every effort has been made to minimize the negative impact and incorporate changes to improve service for Citilink riders; however, comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Detailed descriptions of service changes by route and maps showing these proposed changes are located on the Citilink website www.fwcitlink.com and can be emailed upon request. These will also be available for review at the public meetings listed below.
The Fort Wayne Public Transportation Corporation/Citilink will host the following community information sessions:
