The update to the transit system is a huge improvement. I hope online payments are implemented. This is for the most part A cashless society so I think that would be a step in the right direction. I think the new fares are very affordable. I would suggest that Paratrans needs to be separate from WinReady.

I think this is pretty cheap of a fare and hopefully young people will take advantage of it. I'm glad the city is taking advantage of the walkability of the city due to it's historic age and increased revenue for nearby businesses.

As far as payment methods, a way to use your card for the loop route would be a major bonus. For example, I won't be able to go anywhere to take out cash without using some form of transit. Until there is another option for the loop route, I think WinReady should also only be $1.00 as well.

I mainly ride the ParaTransit service. As of July 1, I understand there will be Half Fare available for Loop riders, but not for those on ParaTransit? The language in the explanatory paragraph below the fares is misleading. It states that half fare is only available for Loop Riders and those will disabilities or over age 65. But it does not state that this Half Fare is accepted for ParaTransit. Please clarify. Thank you.

Provide feedback for a proposed ordinance to amend the Rolling Hills Precinct Polling Place.

I have lived in Winchester since 1980. It is imperative that Winchester's sense of community so dependent on the historic structure of the city be given attention by rehabilitation and historic preservation. The high density construction currently underway and approved for the near future in redevelopment and currently open sites makes this all the more vital for a future in which all residents new and old can be proud and enjoy living in Winchester.

I support adding rehabilitation and historic preservation to the list of activities eligible for CDBG funds. This will help Winchester maximize the CDBG program and broaden our capacity to preserve and improve our community.
