This Monday...

PfCONA Town Meeting - Monday, August 9th, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Pflugerville Justice Center at 1611 E Pfennig Ln.

Purpose: For residents to learn about light commuter rail that Cap Metro may have in mind for the abandoned Mo Kan corridor; 2) to discuss Capital Metro's 30-year plan and Pflugerville's 20+ year downtown master plan (includes a train depot/visitor complex and parking); and, 3) to get feedback on what Cap Metro light rail has to offer the community. Gloria Ohland, a Cap Metro consultant based in California, will lead a panel discussion that will include: Rick L'Amie, Cap Metro VP of Communications and Kim Williams, whose Austin firm prepared the city's Downtown Master Plan. 

Ohland is a Senior Editor for Reconnecting America and is a co-author of New Transit Towns. Reconnecting America is a new national organization formed to link transportation networks and the communities they serve. It grew out of the work of the Great American Station Foundation, which was formed in 1995 to assist communities with the revitalization! of historic rail stations as a way to both improve transportation services and bring life back to downtowns. Station projects have tremendous power to link transportation to community revitalization, and are often the first step toward building transit-oriented towns.
