Nearly three years after Kootenai County and the Coeur d’Alene Tribe purchased two lots in Coeur d’Alene’s Riverstone development for a transit center, opposition is now mounting against the project.

Prior to Thursday’s Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting at Post Falls City Hall in which the transit center was discussed, Kootenai County Commissioner Marc Eberlein said he’s opposed to the plan.

“I don’t perceive we have the need here,” he said. “I’m sure some would find it useful, but how many? We’re a small area. It’s not like New York City, L.A. or Chicago”/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
