Urbana considers role in MTD lawsuit

URBANA – Urbana will likely join Champaign in attempting to intervene in a lawsuit over the creation of the Champaign Southwest Mass Transit District.

Meeting as the committee of the whole, the Urbana council, in a 6-0 voice vote, directed city staff to draw up a motion to intervene in the lawsuit. The issue will come up for a formal vote at the council's July 9 meeting. The Champaign council authorized legal intervention last week.
