What are the priorities of the San Gabriel Valley cities as they relate to transportation and Metro?
The San Gabriel Valley is looking for expansion of the Pasadena Gold Line further east to the county line. They are looking eventually to the extension of the Gold Line past East Los Angeles, further east through Montebello and out to South El Monte. They are looking at goods movement issues. The growth to the ports is going to come back. As the traffic heads north to the Alameda Corridor, completing the investment plan for the Alameda Corridor east to allow goods to move further east. The 710 gap closure is a critical project. Coming up with a fix for the 57-60 interchange, where the two freeways come together in the Diamond Bar area, is vital. Some of our freeway intersections like the 605 and the 10 are mixed-master interchanges and are very unsafe. We have some funding in place over the next several years to fix some of that. We also want to expand the network of carpool lanes and encouraging people to carpool or use more transit. You were recently appointed to the Metro Gold Line
