The SGV communities that formed the "metro gold line authority", a lobby or pac if you will have a letter writing campain to save the gold line extension which is absent from the draft long range plan. I'm not a Gold Line fan as it will underserve the region and provide little relief to the entier 101/134/210 Corridor from TO to Fontucky. Nor does it address the people on those freeways who end up in OC or Long Beach from the IE nor those going to Santa Monica/WLA from TO and the West Valley. The 101/134/310 corridor handles so much that we need to address it specifically with high speed rail and let the little ones like blue/gold/red handle the siphoning off into Downtown and other points south. Density without transportation is our problem. Metro has hearings on the draft plan on their long range plan set for later in April.
