      Citizen Advisory Council To Vote on StarMetro's Route Decentralization 
Project Next Week

      Due to the absence of three committee members, the Transit Advisory 
Committee was unable to vote on the approval of StarMetro's route 
decentralization project, known as Nova2010. While a handful of committee 
members did voice support of the Nova2010 decentralization plan, attending 
citizens voiced concerns over access to the malls and pedestrian safety. The 
seven-member citizen group agreed to vote on the decentralization project at a 
special meeting next Thursday, January 28, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at 
StarMetro's administrative office, located at 555 Appleyard Drive. 

      "Due to attendance issues, we [members of the Transit Advisory Committee] 
were unfortunately unable to vote on the route decentralization project 
tonight; however, tonight gave the attending committee members a wonderful 
opportunity to hear additional input from citizens," said Dr. Gregory L. 
Thompson, Chairman of the Transit Advisory Committee. "We look forward to 
voting on the project next week."

      StarMetro's Nova2010 route decentralization project aims to take the 
current downtown oriented, hub-and-spoke route structure and break apart each 
route to create a more grid-like route structure. This decentralized route 
structure will feature routes running from north to south and east to west, 
many bypassing downtown's C.K. Steele Plaza.

      For more information, please call StarMetro's main office at (850) 
891-5200 or visit online at Talgov.com/starmetro. For additional project 
updates, please call the Nova2010 hotline at (850) 891-5283 or email 
nova2010project@xxxxxxxxxxx Citizens may also follow updates on FaceBook and 
Twitter.
