On May 23, MBRU held a “31 Crosstown Lobby Day” at City Hall, where we presented more than 2,000 petition signatures (and counting!) to the Memphis City Council. Members of the City Council have shown a lot of support for the route, and Councilwoman Swearengen even called it “a slap in the face” of citizens not to bring the route back. Thank you to all our members and allies who showed up, showed out, and helped with rides!
Coming up, we’ll be taking our campaign to the Benjamin L. Hooks Library on May 31, where MATA will hold an input meeting for their latest proposed service changes from 5-7 PM. Come out, speak out, and show your support for the full restoration of the 31 Crosstown! If you are not able to attend, you can still help. Please send your comments for the full restoration of the 31 Crosstown to MATA’s transit planners! You can contact them via email at: publiccomments@matatransit
