BRT-Merchants meeting tomorrow Tue. March 4th at 9:00 am at La Estrellita




Dear Merchants,

Please come to our meeting tomorrow at 9 am, with AC Transit and our council woman Pat Kernighan, to discuss about bus rapid transit project which will start the construction within 12 months.  It will affect our area greatly.  Please come to find out the information and or just to support our area. We do need more voices!!!


Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)---A New AC Transit Bus Project Will Change International Blvd. Forever

International Blvd merchants are organizing to be heard. Join Fruitvale, San Antonio and Eastlake merchants as they meet with City and AC Transit representatives, an elected official and an 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 & unloading
      Most left turns from International will be prohibited


Why this meetings is 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 meeting with:




Terry Lightfoot, AC-Transit
