Dear Angels Flight Friends and Neighbors, Thank you for your continued support of Angels Flight Railway. This week, the Downtown News reported on a strange and troubling situation unfolding on Bunker Hill. Several parcels of leased land formerly owned by the Community Redevelopment Agency were put up for auction late last year. The high bidder is unhappy with the process and threatening legal action. One of the parcels is the narrow strip of land on which Angels Flight sits.

Please take a few moments to share our petition link with friends who may not have signed it. Each new signature triggers an email to Mayor Garcetti and serves as a reminder that Los Angeles loves Angels Flight Railway and we expect our Mayor to help save this landmark. Also in the papers, the L.A. Business Journal covered our explorable 3D scan of Angels Flight: http://www.labusinessjournal.com/news/2016/jun/20/angels-flight-railway-gets-back-track-online/ That 3D scan link again: http://esotouric.com/angelsflight3d/ What's next for Angels Flight? The non-profit board continues its fundraising to cover ongoing insurance and upkeep costs, and is working with engineers on a design for a track-side walkway as required by the state regulators. We'll let you know when there's more news to share. Viva Angels Flight! Kim Cooper & Richard Schave Esotouric / Angels Flight Friends and Neighbors Society
