Land for the first phase of a permanent public transit center in Riverstone is expected to be acquired by September and construction is pegged to start next year, a county official said. "There's renewed enthusiasm in the project," said Christine Fueston, the county's Federal Transit Administration grant administrator. Kootenai County commissioners today are expected to sign a memorandum of understanding with The Coeur d'Alene Tribe to cooperatively work on the project. The site for the permanent center will be where the existing temporary center is at the southwest corner of Seltice Way and Riverstone Drive in Riverstone/Brian Walker, Coeur d'Alene Press.
