Mayor Tabke Holds Hour-Long Video Chat on Metro Transit

Mayor Brad Tabke held an hour-long video chat with Shakopee residents Sunday night about the city's role in a future metro-wide transit system.

"We have currently a transit system that is not fully functional," Tabke said during introductory remarks. "In Shakopee we have a significant problem in that we only have a few ways to get across the river."

Here's more from his blog:

A fully functioning, metro-wide transit system is key to our future development and growth as a region and local community. Please contact our legislators today to let them know why you support sales tax for transit.

A fully-funded transit system provides:

• Variety of options to commuters to use transit and relieve congestion on the roads 
• Gives people access to more jobs throughout the metro
• Gives Shakopee’s entertainment customers more avenues to get to Canterbury Park, Renaissance Festival, ValleyFair and more
