I think the focus of these Open Houses is on the bus service options during Mall construction.
I was wondering if Mall construction couldn't all be staged... North Mall, Central Mall, then South Mall...with buses coming back sooner once construction on a given segment is done. I'll mention it today. Stacey & Widbeck, the contractor, did a great job on both Interstate MAX and Streetcar in minimizing impacts via staged contruction. When I saw their plan for Interstate MAX, I knew it was a winner, and they delivered.

I went to the afternoon meeting yesterday and while these meetings are an annual event, the mall project definitely overshadowed other things, like I-205.
