Title
City of Durham Letter of Support Request for Areas of Persistent Poverty Program Grant Application
Evian Patterson, City of Durham
Narrative
The City of Durham (COD) proposes a planning study to establish a mobility hub at the Village Transit Center (VTC) to provide equitable access to transit and improve connections to employment and educational opportunities for the community. Current transit facilities are inadequate for the robust level of transit ridership. The new mobility hub will offer significant improvements to passenger services and provide amenities such as weather shelters and seating, accessibility for disabled populations, and real time bus arrival and departure information. Improvements to passenger safety and security such as lighting and security cameras will be implemented. Attached is a memorandum with additional details about this request, as well as the draft letter of support for review.
