Metro Event: Westside Expansion Meetings

There are three community input meetings scheduled for this week - each meeting takes place from 6-8pm.

Tuesday, Oct. 16th - Wilshire United Methodist Church
Wednesday Oct. 17th - Beverly Hills Public Library
Thursday, Oct. 18th - Santa Monica Public Library

You can find more information through the full press release at the metro site.

Two of these meetings have already happened but you still have an opportunity. I will personally be attending the one tomorrow night and i'll be sure to write about anything of interest.

While not directly related to the Hollywood neighborhood these meetings and the recommendations that will come from them are very important to the future of Los Angeles mass transit.

In my view Hollywood has turned into one of the best examples of how transit can change a neighborhood. As it becomes more and more difficult to drive the surrounding streets and more and more parking lots are developed into buildings. The ability to get to the west side efficiently via public transit will be a great bonus for everyone who lives in LA

So if you have time - or an interest/opinion - consider stopping by one of these meetings and participating.
