Transit Day Event – CANCELED
The GWNC application for a transit day event for May 25th was denied by the City Clerk and so the event has been canceled. Here is the basis for the Clerk’s decision:
- The event will take place outside the NC’s boundaries and does not appear to fulfill general outreach objectives for NCs. The outreach element of the event is more inclined for Metro, promoting Metro ridership, and not NC functions.
- This type of activity creates a high level of risk and liability for the City.
- The event may cause concerns regarding Brown Act regulations.
