The City of Casa Grande is charting new territory in its public transport network, offering up plans for a larger CG LINK service area. At public hearings held on July 22nd at the Dorothy Powell Senior Center and City Hall Council Chambers, attendees got their first look at the proposed expansions set to activate on November 3, 2025. Inviting public discourse, the City has officially opened the floor for comments until August 22, detailing opportunities for input via a recent notice.
Keen on incorporating community feedback, the City is opting for a 30-day public comment period that will shape the service area's future. Given directly to CG LINK drivers or mailed, citizens can voice their concerns and suggestions using a fillable comment form available on the City's website. Emailing thoughts directly to the link provided by the city also remains an option—the voices of Casa Grande are heard while seated behind a desk or the wheels of a bus.
The proposed service area changes, showcased through a PowerPoint presentation, are accessible on the CG LINK website for all to review. These changes reflect an expanding vision of Casa Grande, with the city's transit services pushing the envelope, looking to offer better connectivity that matches its growth. The service area map, integral to the proposal, indicates where CG LINK's reach may soon extend, pending public input and final approval.
>Residents seeking to participate in this pivotal conversation have a variety of avenues to submit their public comments by the August deadline. Whether it's through the traditional stamp and mail method to the City of Casa Grande's Florence Boulevard address, entrusting their words to the hands of bus drivers on their daily routes, or firing off an email, the choice garners no preference; only the substance of their commentary. Each method ensures its voice, among the chorus of others, will influence the city's transit trajectory.
