Metro Holds Meeting to Discuss Streetcar Path

The $125 million streetcar won’t open until 2015 at the soonest, but this week, Downtown stakeholders can have a say on where it will go.

On Tuesday, Aug. 2, Metro will host the final public meeting to discuss the latest route options for the streetcar. The meeting is one of the steps that Metro, as the lead agency for the project’s environmental analysis, must take in order to qualify the streetcar for federal funding, which organizers hope will pay for nearly half of the project.

L.A. Moves Closer to Bringing Streetcars Back

Tomorrow night, the L.A. Streetcar team and Metro will hold a public meeting to discuss what options will be studied for a new streetcar system for Downtown Los Angeles. There are seven options on the table, all of them serve a different need, and all of them will bring something new, or rather something old, back to the Downtown.
