Impeach George Bush


Los Angeles MTA

The last three stations of the 15-year, $4.7 billion Metro Subway project open in North Hollywood, Universal City and Hollywood/Highland.

Source: The Tip, 2002-08-01

Candidate: LA City

The twin half-cent sales taxes approved by county voters raise about $840 million a year to finance bus operations and rail construction.

The MTA has asked Congress for $100 million this year for subway extensions to the Eastside and North Hollywood. If the agency ends up like last year, when it received less than half of the money it requested from Congress, it could be forced to delay the subway project even more, intensifying the MTA board's internecine squabbling over dwindling transit funds.
The agency remains the subject of a criminal investigation by the MTA inspector general over the handling of a contract to supervise subway construction on the Eastside. The inspector general reported that at the end of last year, his office had 47 investigations underway.

well it seems to me that a lot of people are
divided regarding the subway lines within los
angeles, i do have to admit the the whole subway
sytem is a bit inadequate at the moment (unless
you live around the los angeles area), you have to
keep in mind that all the work being done right
now is an investment in the future.


these lines will be extended and the
whole subway system will be more widespread, i am
glad that we are finally going in the right
direction and that metro is already preparing for
the transportation problems that have yet to come.
