    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (March 29, 2019) – The city of Sedona invites residents to an Open House April 9, 2019 from 4 to 6 pm at the Sedona Library community room to give input on potential transit service options in and around Sedona.

    After the Transportation Master Plan identified transit as a major strategy to pursue, and as part of the Sedona in Motion (SIM) effort, the city hired LSC Transportation Consultants to develop an implementation plan of a greater Sedona/Oak Creek Canyon transit system for both residents and visitors. Thus far, a transit needs assessment has been completed; extensive public input has been solicited through stakeholder focus groups, individual interviews, public meetings, resident, business and visitor surveys, and visitor intercepts; and a range of service options has been developed and narrowed.

    These service options are what the city seeks public input on and the options include preliminary analyses of who might use the transit system, what incentives/disincentives would be required to promote ridership, key origins and destinations, frequency of service and estimated costs.

    “It is so important to get resident feedback before finalizing the plan and working out the implementation details. This will be the last big opportunity for the public to weigh in before this planning process concludes,” says Karen Osburn, city of Sedona assistant city manager and community development director.

    Once input on the service options is received from residents and City Council, the next steps include: finalization of a recommended service plan; identification of possible funding options and governance structure; development of a draft implementation plan that will identify fare options, capital needs, and operational requirements; and development of a marketing plan.

    For more information on the Open House details, contact Lauren Browne, city of Sedona citizen engagement coordinator at 928-203-5068 or LBrowne@SedonaAZ.gov. To read more details about the progress of this project, visit www.SedonaAZ.gov/transit.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
