As an Eagle Rocker and someone who relies on public transit, I am so encouraged and grateful to see all this support for BRT on Colorado. If you haven’t already- send your comments of support in to Metro and Supvr. Hilda Solis (and CC me equitablebrt@gmail.com).
If you have time this week, BRT could really use your support at 3 meetings. The “No Metro on the Blvd” group is working with KLAM (Keep LA Moving), the anti-road safety group. They have a large following, so we need to make sure we can show up to support equitable transportation.
The events of the week are:
TONIGHT, Tuesday August 6, the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council is considering two potential comment letter motions on the planned NoHo-Pasadena BRT. One motion calls for the Metro board to confirm that a 134 Freeway alignment does not meet project goals of increased ridership, Vehicle Miles Traveled decreases, and GHG reductions. The other motion calls for Metro to support a broad, inclusive community vision for the project, incorporating safety, access, character, and preservation of small businesses. The ERNC board meeting will start at 7 p.m. at Eagle Rock City Hall at 2035 Colorado Boulevard.
On Wednesday August 7, Metro will host its fifth and final NoHo-Pasadena BRT scoping meeting, an open house from 5:30-8 p.m. at Occidental College’s Samuelson Pavilion, at 1600 Campus Road. See meeting details see The Source or Facebook event.
On Thursday August 8, the Eagle Rock Association (TERA) will host a visioning meeting for Colorado Boulevard. TERA is seeking input on how to design Colorado Boulevard to benefit all Eagle Rock residents – and how to work with Metro and the city of Los Angeles to best utilize available funding to make Colorado Blvd more walkable, green, sustainable, transit-accessible, and small-business-friendly. The meeting will take place from 7-8:30 p.m. at Eagle Rock City Hall at 2035 Colorado Blvd. TERA is requesting RSVPs via its website.
Thank you for your continued support & I hope to see you there! Visit https://www.equitableeaglerock.com/ for more info.
