Attention hardcore transit geeks:

The MTA will be considering Councilmember LaBonge's proposal to reverse the subway-tunneling ban in Los Angeles County at their next Planning and Programming committee meeting. For those interested in voicing their support (or for you flat-earthers who want to keep the ban), the meeting will be held February 16 at 1 p.m., at the MTA's palace, I mean to say, the MTA's highly functional, and not at all lavish, headquarters. The address is One Gateway Plaza at Union Station.

This will be Zev Yaroslavsky's chance to try to kill the proposal outright (which runs counter to the MTA "reform" legislation that he himself authored), so the potential for drama does exist, however slight.  ¶ 9:47 PM
