miss ya
An email from LA Metro regarding the cancellation of the Sepulveda Transit Corridor meetings. Says a whole lot of nothing tbh
should someone call in a welfare check on numble? none of their accounts have posted in a month. May be possible all of this got them a cease and desist from Metro.
Wtf!
Why? Because of federal funding? Would they try and move the funding to other projects? This is the most important transit project in the nation. This is insane.
What were the potential funding sources for the project? Are there cost overruns that eat up the 2025-26 funding? That's what I could see
Measure R/M (which can only fund Westside projects), federal, state. Since Garcetti left, there isn’t really a board champion for the project as there is for other projects, which may be one big issue for the project.
Comment from Move LA on Reddit: they say they are also hearing EIR may be delayed or not even released because ridership doesn’t justify the cost. https://www.reddit.com/r/LAMetro/s/nnvl4CjQKg
LA Metro’s Reddit account says that the meetings have been postponed and that Metro needs more time before sharing the Draft EIR. www.reddit.com/r/LAMetro/s/...
Good to hear but I am suspicious now....
afaik the DEIR wasn't going to be released before these meetings anyway??? so it doesn't really make sense as an excuse? Unless that was secretly Metro's plan behind the scenes so it could be the first set of meetings where they could talk about things in more concrete terms?
Right, it was always a "community update" not an official public hearing.
And it’s debatable if any meaningful change comes from them
Right?? I mean, they do similar tricks with passenger flow studies like platform screens
You doing okay? Are you taking a break or do you need help from us locals?
Hi numble! We miss u! You are a pillar of the LA transit enthusiast community! Hope you’re doing alright you’ve been inactive for a while
