§ 29036 Local Transit Planning Review

• •The board must ask city councils and other local groups for their opinions on plans for things like train routes, stations, and related buildings.
• •The board has to listen to and think about the suggestions they get from these groups before making decisions.
• •This rule helps make sure that local communities have a say in big projects that affect them.

A train company wants to build a new station in a small town.

The board in charge has to ask the town’s city council and other local groups what they think about the plan. If the town says the station should be built on the other side of town to avoid traffic problems, the board must consider that idea seriously before deciding where to build.
