Transit Fees & Water Pollution Plant On Tap For Council

City transit fees could be going up this April.  Council will vote on proposed rate changes Monday.  A monthly adult pass could go up by about 4 dollars, while a family day pass could increase by 3 dollars as well.  Meanwhile, City Councillors will vote Monday on putting over a million dollars into improvements at the Atlantic Avenue Water Pollution Control Plant.  The upgrades will help prevent future floods at the facility.  Mayor Keith Hobbs says he'll be supporting the move.  Some of the upgrades include better drainage and filtering processes.
