City is creating projects that improve Everett

I ran into one of the distinctive new red and silver Everett Transit buses in town and want to offer a few words – they look great! It’s good to see Everett Transit taking the iitiative to put forth its own look while getting the community involved and informed.

The ET flyer printed in The Herald on Nov. 20 about its new buses and services is exceptional. It goes to show that we have a quality public transit system that is interested in what the community thinks and how service can be improved. That is, what ways it can be improved for the ridership. The way it should be.

I look forward to the opening of the new Everett Station as well. A community center, a place to catch the train and the bus, and plenty of places to shop and eat. What an idea! It looks like the city of Everett is really getting some important projects completed. Need I mention the unveiling of the Pacific Overpass? Way to go, Everett!
