We are so excited to share that the long awaited, much needed, highly anticipated and strongly fought for bus shelter for the Pace bus stop on Western Ave across from Cuddy's cornerstone is finally in motion at not only the City of Joliet Public Service Committee meeting on Monday, May 18th but it is also appearing on the City Council agenda meeting agenda packet for discussion and vote on Monday, May 18th and Tuesday, May 19th. We want to take a minute and give a huge thank you to Beth from Pace who since at least 2021 has worked with us, advocated for us and assisted in getting the needed red tape broke through. We also want to thank City staff for helping in the endeavor along with past and cureent consultants who have helped us on making this move forward.
