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.
