ANNOUNCEMENT: Meeting Thursday for Foothill Extension
Sure, you’d like to see the train station go in soon…so to help make that happen attend the MTA’s next board meeting on Thursday the 24th at 9:30 a.m. at and show your support. The meeting will be held at MTA Headquarters (board room), One Gateway Plaza in Los Angeles.
Remember, this is not a done deal yet, as the Foothill extension has not been allocated as part of the budgeted 30-year regional plan. It’s currently still floundering in the list of “Strategic Projects” which means that it will likely be built only when “funds become available.”
This will be an opportunity for supporters of the Foohill Extension to speak directly to board members during the public comment period (1 minute maximum). The MTA Building is located adjacent to Union Station downtown, which is reachable from the Sierra Madre station in about 35 minutes. For more information, please call 626-305-7026 or visit the website at and register.
To make your support known through email, send your thoughts to metroplan@metro.net. For more complete information, download the PDF here. You may also sign the “I WILL RIDE” student petition here.

Wow, stunning redesign. How on earth did I miss this? The site looks great. And the ad for ads is very cool. Verrrrrry cool (wheels in mind start spinning).
Thank you! I am to please. I’m now a firm devotee of Wordpress.
Let me offer up some counterpoints. I really want to see an effective light rail serving the area. Gold Line is not it. In chronological order:

I’d like to bring a horse and buggy back. Truly I would.
Frankly, I continue to be appalled that people oppose the extension. It can’t happen soon enough for my tastes.
