This is the BRT plan that was released to the public on 2-5-2002.  The plan is to

widen McLoughlin from 110' (+/-) to 130' at major intersections to create a

separate bus bypass lane.  The pictures and descriptions show what will

happen to your business if you allow BRT to be built to their specifications.

Metro has said that the plan can be changed; however, they are only offering

you minor changes by moving the road or a driveway a few feet to pacify you.

As a community we must stand together and tell Metro "NO BUILD" to BRT

or we will be stuck with the results of increased congestion, job losses, and

business that will be destroyed because of this project.  You must speak up loud

to put an end to the destruction of our community. Remember the quote from
