Directed staff to draft a letter to AC Transit urging the board of directors to keep an open and operating yard in Division 3, request AC Transit work with the City of Richmond on alternative sites for a maintenance yard, and request that AC Transit work with the City of Richmond on the disposition of the Division 3 Operating Yard

Why This Vote Matters
The city council unanimously directed staff to write a formal letter opposing AC Transit's plan to close its Division 3 Operating Yard in Richmond. The letter will ask AC Transit's board to keep the yard open and work with Richmond to find alternative locations for bus maintenance facilities. This matters because the yard serves local bus routes that Richmond residents depend on for transportation, and its closure could reduce service or force longer routes. The council also wants input on what happens to the property if AC Transit does eventually close the facility.
