The other day in The BRIO is being used we were pleasantly surprised to see the buses almost full.
With Sun Metro’s ridership declining every year and the BRIO increasing that should mean that their other routes are losing many riders.
Will we see an adjustment in their service offerings?
Will we finally see them moving to delivery methods that fit better with demand?
We deserve better

It seems that the city is using Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones more and more as a way to finance private ventures.
The TIRZ allow any increase in property values and the resultant increase in taxes to be funneled into the TIRZ and away from the general fund.
Items 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 on the Tuesday, March 3, 2020 city council agenda dealt with the expansion of existing TIRZs.
Item 11.1 added 595 acres to TIRZ six–Medical Center of the Americas.
Items 11.2 and 11.3 dealt with TIRZ thirteen. They added more land and increased the amount that will be diverted from the general fund.

The original post was incorrect.
Rather than continuing with an incorrect conclusion I have removed the original text with a commitment to be more careful next time.
