Miller, Miller & Canby Presents at Community Event for Bus Rapid Transit Expansion

According to its website, EPIC of MoCo “informs, educates, and supports residents on housing, transportation, and land-use policies.”  As some residents have limited internet access and face language barriers, EPIC explains, it seeks to bring information directly to community members through community outreach, translated materials, in-person education, and hands-on support.

Schneider and Raudales, both members of Miller, Miller & Canby’s eminent domain practice, spoke with people at the event in both English and Spanish about County efforts to acquire land in the area for bus rapid transit (BRT) expansion. Communication from the County to landowners regarding acquisition of their property is often unexpected and can be confusing.

Schneider explained, “Many landowners don’t realize that there is no requirement to accept a time-constrained offer that they receive from the County for their property. We want people to understand the process, and recognize that they have rights to full and just compensation.”
