More construction content for everyone. Moving our connex boxes around to make room for our expanded employee parking lot. Great job threading the needle for a safe morning of work.

We began construction today for improvements to the outdoor area at our maintenance and operations facility! We’re adding 18 employee parking spaces (area in red) and a newly landscaped and hardscaped employee break area (in green) amongst other smaller additions such as lighting and other landscaping. These improvements were funded by a $487k federal grant.

We love speaking with our riders, it’s also great to hear the energy the city has for this upcoming game!

The streetcar team was busy counting passengers as we recertify our automatic passenger counting system with the FTA. We’ll continue to be on board periodically over the next few weeks collecting data and talking with our riders, say “hi” if you see us!

It’s about more than a football game. 💙❤️
