[Transit] bus service increase/event

Tue Feb 14 08:42:42 PST 2023 

I filled out the planning meeting poll and it looks like *Thursday Feb 23
6:30 to 8pm* window or *Sunday Feb 26 10am to 2pm* window are our two
leading options with 4 yeses. (I could also probably make Tuesday evening
Feb 21 work in a pinch, but will be out of town so not ideal.) Would any of
those work for you, Sarah?

Either Optimism or Brewlab are fine by me.

Apologies for missing the second scheduling poll earlier. I believe I
filled out the other one, but let me know if not.
