This November, City Council delayed a vote that would support future improvements for VIA Metropolitan Transit.
While no money is expected for this fiscal year 2017, the original proposal earmarked$2.2 million of city funds in fiscal year 2018, $6.5 million the following year, then $10 million in fiscal year 2020 and each year going forward.
Although the need for funding the city's bus service is clear, why is the decision being delayed?
