Our coverage of this week’s West Seattle Transportation Coalition board meeting included word that WSTC members planned a tour of sorts to meet with interested community members. Just found out it starts tomorrow! Here’s the announcement and schedule:

Got a rant about transportation in West Seattle or maybe a rave to share? If so, the West Seattle Transportation Coalition (WSTC) wants to hear from you. They plan to begin a series of “Listening Tours” to learn about transportation and mobility issues that affect the West Seattle Peninsula. The first of the ‘tours’ starts this weekend.

At each ‘Tour Stop,’ Coalition members will take your comments about transportation and the peninsula. “We’d like you to tell us what works and what doesn’t work about transportation in West Seattle; what do you think can be improved, or what do you think is needed,” said WSTC Outreach Chairperson Deb Barker. Transportation methods such as car, bike, bus, ferry, scooter, skateboard, rollerblade, wheelchair, or walking are included. As a newly formed grassroots group dedicated to advancing and improving all transportation modes in order to benefit the West Seattle Peninsula, the WSTC will tabulate all of the comments they receive to determine ongoing transportation goals and objectives for all of the people of the peninsula.

The “Listening Tour” schedule is:

December 14, 2013 from 12-2pm at Barnes & Noble Coffee Shop, Westwood Village, 2600 SW Barton
December 15, 2013 from 11-1pm at Cupcake Royale, 4556 California Ave SW
December 21, 2013 from 12-2 at The Feedback Lounge, 6451 California Ave SW
December 22, 2013 from 12-2 at Zatz a Better Bagel, 2348 California Ave SW
December 29, 2013 from 12-2 at Uptown Espresso, 3845 Delridge Way SW

If you can’t make it to one of the “Listening Tour” dates, send your comments to the WSTC at their website westseattletc.org. Additional “Listening Tours” dates will be announced in January 2014.
