Hello Southland Transit Supporters:
An Open Invitation from The Transit Coalition to join us...for our April 2008 Meeting.
At this gathering, we will discuss current MTA, Metrolink and Amtrak developments, including an update on CA High Speed Rail and a recap of the big Major Investment Study projects underway.
We will also cover the latest actions by the Metro, the major bus service Removal Plan, the MTA Long Range Plan public hearings, the Metrolink Fare Increase / Service Cut Proposals, the latest rail extensions and other Metro projects.
The Gold Line to East Los Angeles continues to progress with the laying of rail, the placement of catenary polls and the rebuilding of the First Street bridge over the L.A. River.
The I-405 HOV design/build project is starting to gear up, with a Notice to Proceed scheduled for the end of 2008.
The Expo Joint Powers Authority is into heavy construction: Page 19 and there is an enhanced budget and the Dorsey and Foshay grade crossing issues go into evidentiary
hearing in April and May.
Join us Tuesday, April 22, 2008 at Philippe the Original for our meeting and Brain Storming Session @ 6:56 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. (or longer!)
Or go to our map.
Important step by step directions:
After you get your food, we will take over some tables in the second floor meeting room, BUT first....we gather at the table near the "front door" cash register and then decide to go upstairs only when we get enough folks.
Check near the cash register to see if we are there or if not, enter the upstairs on the Alameda St. side of the restaurant, as the west side has a sign that says the upstairs is closed.
Beware of the trick by the restaurant. After we go up, they put the closed sign back up. We will be up there, but call 818-367-1661, if you can't figure out where we are! Join us, if you can.
Pass the word. If you or anyone is interested, get them there Tuesday the 22nd.
Also, note: RSVP. If we know you are coming, we will look for you, so you don't stay lost from us.
Note: If you want to get the meeting e-mail directly, write bart.reed@thetransitcoalition.us and you can get on the list for future events.
