Jill Schramm/MDN Brian Horinka, transit director for the City of Minot, prepares to cut the ribbon on Minot’s new downtown transit center Monday. From left are Assistant City Manager Tom Joyce, Mayor Tom Ross, City Manager Harold Stewart, Chamber ambassador Keli Rosselli Sullivan, Horinka, Public Works Director Bryan Banfill, ambassador Melanie Hogue, Transit Foreman Joe Cutaiar and ambassador Hannah Pederson. The center, located in the downtown Renaissance parking structure, opened about two weeks ago. It includes seating for waiting passengers, a lounge for bus drivers, an office, restroom, fare dispensing machine, ATM and water bottle filling station. It replaces the Minot Municipal Auditorium, which formerly served as the transit transfer center.
