LA City Councilmember Mike Bonin, who sits on the LA Metro Board and chairs the LA City Council's Transportation Committee, tells the Planning Report that we are on the verge of creating "an entirely new transportation system" from a single-mode city (the car) to a truly multimodal system that will integrate rail with bus, car, bicycles and pedestrians.
I think we dramatically jumpstarted that process with Measure R . . . and can solidify those steps and turn them into a successful leap forward with Measure R2 . . . to give us an opportunity to accelerate some of the projects that are already in the pipeline and add the ones needed to complete LA's transit revolution.
And he notes that the Expo Line, which is only half completed, already has exceeded ridership projections and, "On average more people ride Expo every day than there are cars on the 10 freeway during rush hour."
