BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Continuing its effort to gain the community’s feedback on the benefits of transit and vision for future transit services, Broward County Transit (BCT) has added another convenient meeting venue, the Miramar Branch Library and Education Center, to the “Let’s Talk Transit” community outreach series. The meetings include a brief presentation by transit officials on BCT service improvements and an interactive question and answer discussion.  

The Miramar Branch Library is a hotspot for public transit users because of its location within the City of Miramar Town Center, which features restaurants, shops, apartment homes and bus stops for three of BCT’s busiest routes: 5, 28 and the Miramar Community Bus.

The “Let’s Talk Transit” meeting at the Miramar Branch Library will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30, 2014.
