BRT - Merchants exploring legal routes to address project related business impacts

International Blvd. Merchant’s Meeting

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)---A New AC Transit Bus Project

Will Change International Blvd. Forever

International Blvd merchants are organizing to be heard. Join San Antonio and Eastlake merchants as they meet with City and AC Transit representatives, elected official and attorney, to make sure their concerns about the BRT are addressed. 




  What are some of the changes? AFTER construction:

  • Approximately 500 existing parking spaces will be removed from International.
    International Blvd. will be a two-lane street rather than a four lane street, impacting
         loading and unloading. 
    Most left turns from International will be prohibited

 Why these meetings are so important?

Because we put the pressure on, as AC-Transit will present a plan to the City Council in April 2014.  We need to make sure this plan addresses our concerns!



Please attend our Next meetings with:
