BACKGROUND
On 4
February 2009, the Transit Committee received a verbal presentation from the

A number of concerns were raised during the meeting, which included, but were not limited to:

· The ability to use empty parking lots or commercial shopping centre parking lots as interim park and ride lots
Staff agreed to provide feedback to all members of Council in response to all concerns raised.
