When it comes to public transportation, there’s no reason to just go along for the ride. So the City of Asheville is hosting Let’s Talk Transportation, a series of drop-in events to give community members face time with the City’s transportation team.

If you’re curious about parking garage projects or find yourself regularly ruminating on the state of bike lanes, the events will give you a chance to ask questions or learn about local transportation initiatives from the people who are putting them into practice. You can also offer your feedback and experiences to help shape priorities.

On Tuesday, March 26, staff will be at:

  • Burton Street Community Center, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
  • Shiloh Community Center, 2-4 p.m.
  • Dr. Wesley Grant Sr. Southside Community Center, 4-6 p.m.

On Thursday, March 28, you’ll find the team at:

  • Tempie Avery Montford Community Center, 2-4 p.m.
  • Stephens-Lee Community Center, 4-6 p.m.
