Gilbert Town Council punts on transit station study 

Proposed anti-rail ordinance to get revisions before coming back 

The Gilbert Town Council tabled a proposed feasibility study on transit stations in town at its Aug. 23 meeting, which was marked by dissension on the dais and a charged crowd criticizing council members. 

Council also studied a proposed ordinance that would prohibit expenditures or use of resources for commuter or light rail and would prohibit town from any tax or fees for construction, operation or maintenance of heavy or light rail. 

During the business meeting, an item to approve the feasibility study was pulled from consent agenda and council voted 6-1 to table the issue indefinitely with Vice Mayor Aimee Yentes voting in dissent.
