Rural & Tribal Transit for Yelm & Rainier

Below is an email received by Evan and myself from Fred Evander Rainier City Planner on helping to construct a rural bus stop in Rainier.  

Both Evan and myself feel this is something we can do as a club for Rainier and maybe even get some wheel chair ramp builders to assist. Evan also suggested we try and get the American Legion involved with us. 

There are some things we can do with little or no cost. We also believe our club can afford to construct a bus stop shelter in Rainier. Please contact Evan or me with your thoughts.

Fred needs our club's response by mid November.

Thanks,

George

So far, the general consensus from our Rainier Lions Club members is "Yes" to building the rest stop for the                Rural Transit.  Please send us your input.

Fred Evander, City Planner for Rainier, sent the Rainier Lions information on the Rural & Tribal Transit for Rainier & Yelm.

Hey George,
Attached is the letter…

Potential donation options include:

-Donation of a bus stop sign or shelter that somebody on the Lions (or somewhere else) made

-Volunteer time (say an hour a month commitment from somebody) to discuss RT with residents, at the Lions meetings, etc.

-Use of your reader board sign on Binghampton to promote RT for a certain amount of time.

-Money

Anyway that the Lions could help would be appreciated.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Fred

Hope to see you Tuesday April 15^th.

Rainier Main Street 507 and Parks Meeting

Greetings folks,

The next meeting of the Main Street 507 and Rainier Parks projects will occur March 18, 2014 (7:00 P.M.) at Rainier City Hall.

The meeting will discuss findings from the community meeting, and present a draft version of the parks plan. Additional discussion items will include: how parking should be addressed in downtown, and some of the important characteristics to ensure in new development (i.e. whether the City should consider building design and landscaping standards).

For those of you particularly interested in Binghampton Street (SR 507), the meeting will not delve into the road or intersections along the highway. The meeting in May will likely consider those issues, after the technical group analyzing the roadway has completed its work.

If you have questions about the March meeting, the project or anything else, please let me know.

Hope to see you March 18^th.

Fred
