Post Bulletin: Transit tops DMC leaders’ to-do list

In a first of its kind joint planning session on Destination Medical Center Thursday, the topic on the tip of every tongue was transportation.

The Destination Medical Center Corp. board of directors hosted the meeting with the Rochester City Council and the DMC Economic Development Agency board. It was the first time the three boards had convened.

The agenda was wide-ranging, but transit issues were the consistent theme. City staff is preparing to request an amendment with its transit management consultant, SRF, at a July 6 council meeting. The amendment would allow the city to expand its contract with SRF to move forward with studies of four key transportation areas.
