More LaBonge newsletter fodder (and no, I'm not on the good Councilmember's payroll):

"On Wednesday, the City Council's Transportation Committee unanimously approved Councilmember Tom LaBonge's motion to study the feasibility for a northern connection
of the Metro Green Line directly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). "

Cool. And it's about time.

A Green Line spur to LAX would boost ridership, and also set the stage for a possible northward expansion to Santa Monica.

Of course, there are still many political hoops to jump through, but it's a start.
