Please join us to learn more about the High-Speed Train System and the I-10 Alternative. The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) is hosting a San Gabriel Valley Community Open house in El Monte to provide the communities along the I-10 Freeway an opportunity to learn more about the High-Speed Train program, and specifically, the potential alternative planned along the I-10 Freeway corridor as part of the Los Angeles to San Diego via the Inland Empire Section.

Project topics will include updates on the project, proposed alternative alignments, station locations, design options and a review of the environmental process.

The San Gabriel Valley Community Open House is an opportunity for residents and stakeholders to speak directly with members of the project team, ask questions and provide feedback.
Please plan on joining us on October 6, 2010.

There was an open house in Union Station last night. I caught the tail end of it (was at the Westside Subway hearing before that). Lots of interesting alternatives about how the train will enter and exit Downtown L.A., location of the maintenance yard (LA River west bank, south of 6th Street), and new platforms at LAUS.

I live only a couple blocks away from the 10 freeway, so I may sound like a NIMBY for saying this, but:

There are simply FAR better alternatives available, like sharing the Riverside Metrolink ROW.
