Los Angeles Coliseum

“We’ve widened and widened and widened . . . over and over again,” yet the Costa Mesa Freeway remains one of the worst traffic bottlenecks in the country.
Palmdale Airport and Metrolink connected by new Palmdale Flyer Express Bus, modeled after the FlyAway.
Parking problems at Los Angeles Coliseum are nothing new.
Sidestepping Metro to bring Green Line to LAX? Maybe, but funding still the main problem.
Line 256 is on the chopping block and Councilman José Huizar hopes to save it.
Los Angeles the third densest city in the United States.

The good news is that there was only one auto-entitlement person who spoke, only one anti-rail, bus-only transit extremist who spoke and everyone else supporting expanded rail.

Palmdale is an airport in a region that’s going to grow a lot over the next 30 years. I’m wondering if a potential LRT could be designed from Metrolink to the Airport that could be developed around in the years ahead.

It would also help if Metrolink ran all day long.

i love metrolink but its non-existent after 6 which is a pain in the ass. i’m not saying it needs to run every 10 minutes, but every hour or hour and a half after 6 at least would be fitting.
