Norwalk transit decision Tuesday could affect Whittier bus riders
Bus riders who rely on the Norwalk Transit system to get around Whittier will learn their fate at the 6 p.m. Norwalk City Council meeting. That's when the council will hold a public hearing on a proposal to eliminate route 7, cut the Whittier to Santa Fe Springs portions on route 8 and take out the same area on route 3 during the middle of the day and Saturdays. It's all part of a plan to save $1 million and help balance the city's transit budget.
If the council decides to uphold the staff recommendation, look for pressure to come on the Whittier City Council to come up the money to restore the lines. Whittier at one time operated what is now route 7 but when Norwalk took it over a few years ago, began spending that money on Dial-A-Ride and Greenway Trail maintenance.
The Norwalk City Council meeting will be held at its city hall, 12700 Norwalk Blvd., Norwalk.
