TOSCANO SPONSORS TOWN MEETING -- June 16, 2008

Charlottesville - Worried that traffic in this area could become as congested as Northern Virginia? Concerned that we are building too few roads? Or too many? That we are not doing enough to promote mass transit or rail? Do you think we need to do more locally? Should the state consider new sources of revenue for transportation? If these issues are important to you, please join Delegate David Toscano and others for a discussion of these important issues. Delegate Toscano has organized a town hall meeting to be held on June 16th beginning at 7pm at the Albemarle County Office Building at 1600 5th St. Extended.

Barbara Reese, Deputy Secretary of Transportation, will present Gov. Kaine's proposals for new sources of revenue. Public comment will be taken.

Gov. Tim Kaine has called the General Assembly to return to Richmond for a Special Session on Transportation on June 23rd. There will be a number of proposals that will be evaluated and amended. "I believe strongly that public input and engagement will help the process of addressing our transportation problems," Toscano stated. "This forum will serve both to educate citizens about our challenges and potentially generate new ideas for addressing the issues."
