Just realized I posted it everywhere but here.
It's been an exciting couple of weeks for the Get LA Moving grassroots organization. Our long awaited website launch was complimented by a flattering and notable article in the Los Angeles Times that highlighted some aspects of my personal research efforts to devise the line alignments. But even more newsworthy is the remarkable voluntary contributions to the GLAM Plan by dozens of people who we are equally committed to devising solutions to our mobility crisis. Some individuals are just regular citizens with limited knowledge of transit and others are transit engineers and urban planners. Collectively, we have made the map better and the plan stronger.
The many sign-ups and offers to help following the article provide a great opportunity to take this discussion about how rail is our silver bullet into every corner of the county. Together we will demand our political leadership plan long-term and give Angelinos what we want and what we need to continue growing in a 21st century economy.
If you haven't yet, please officially sign-up for updates and tell your friends about GetLAMoving.com.
The website is one of many important resources in our effort, and eventually we would like to see it progress into an comprehensive activist-oriented tool that will allow us to capture and maximize the current desire by LA county residents to Get LA Moving. Our strategic web outreach plan is available for everyone to see on our blog, so please weigh in and tell us where you think there is room for improvement. Several important features on the existing site are not yet operational, so we're going to need the help of the many talented web developers who signed up to bring them to fruition.
The next Get LA Moving Plan Presentation: TODAY Saturday May 12 2:15 PM!
This Saturday at 2:15 pm I will present an updated version of the Get LA Moving Plan before the Southern California Transit Advocates monthly meeting on the 4th floor of Angelus Plaza in Downtown LA (255 S. Hill St, Los Angeles, CA 90012). Please come to the meeting to see the presentation and engage in a healthy dialogue about the future of our region with some of the most seasoned mass transit advocates in Southern California.
All the best,
