Hello Southland Transit Supporters:
This is your Open Invitation from The Transit Coalition to join us for our Tuesday, August 25, 2009 meeting at Philippe the Original restaurant in China Town from 6:59 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.
At this gathering, we will discuss current MTA, Metrolink and Amtrak developments, and a recap of the other transit-related projects underway throughout Southern California.
Will Metrolink Self-Perform or go with Amtrak or Connex as the train / conductor provider? What about those AnsaldoBreda cars? They are almost 12,000 lbs. over the weight of the existing Siemens and Sumitomo cars. And what about that ever elusive Long Range Plan. Will it be delayed to January 2010?
We will also be discussing what the Federal Stimulus means to Southern California. The latest status on Proposition R, which provides funding for a host of transportation projects through a 1/2 sales tax increase in Los Angeles county and also on Proposition 1a which calls for a High Speed Train connecting 24 or more stops from San Francisco to San Diego.
Go to our map, if you need directions.
We generally gather downstairs by the cash register, then retire to the meeting rooms upstairs. Do not be fooled by the signs that say the meeting rooms are closed, as they don't apply to us. If you have trouble locating the meeting, call 818-367-1661.
Pass the word. If you or anyone is interested, get them there Tuesday the 25th.
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 an e-mail meeting reminder directly, write and you can get on the list for future events.
To make reservations, write us.
Subject: Dinner Reservation
Just leave your first/last name, e-mail and phone number.
Please pass this e-mail along to anyone who might be interested in joining us. Call if you have any questions. Thanks, Bart Reed
