Breaking: Emery-Go-Round Resumes Bus Service at Watergate Community

Emeryville City Manager Sabrina Landreth announces Emery-Go-Round bus service has resumes at the Watergate neighborhood.  The community had been shut off for weeks in a controversial move by the Board of Directors of the EGR.

Here is the City Manager's notice to residents:

FROM: Sabrina Landreth, City Manager 

SUBJECT: Emery Go Round Shuttle Stop by Watergate Condominiums 

The Emeryville Transportation Management Association (TMA) has temporarily restored the Emery Go-Round (EGR) shuttle bus stops located near the Watergate Condominiums, effective today Tuesday, November 5, 2013. The EGR bus operator has crafted notices that will be placed on the shuttle’s website and on the buses to notify riders of that the stops have been temporarily reinstated. The notices also indicate that there may be some delays on the Watergate Express and Shellmound-Powell routes as the buses will be travelling further west on Powell to the Marina south parking lot in order to turn around. 

The EGR is still scheduled to be discussed at the December 3rd City Council Meeting. Both short-term and long-range funding strategies will be part of this discussion.
