89 Garfield Action Team

We've been working together with the Bloomfield Garfield Corporation and community members for weekend bus service on the 89. On Thursday Sept 17, 60 Garfield residents came out to a community meeting to discuss their transit needs. Many of them took action steps including writing letters to elected officials and making requests for service. Others signed up to speak at the Port Authority board meeting on Fri Sept 25.

We are having a canvassing day on Sat Oct 10 to go door to door and get support for this campaign. We will leave from N Aiken Commons at 10 am.

The next community meeting is Wed Oct 21 at 530 pm at North Aiken Commons.

In the meantime, we encourage folks to make sure they share their need for weekend bus service.

You can make a service request to Port Authority.

The suggested proposal for this community is:

• 89 Garfield Commons service on the weekends
