Editorial: Why Raise Fares When Metro’s Building Even More Free Parking?
A couple of weeks ago, I posted an editorial asking Why Raise Metro Fares While Giving Away Metro Parking? At the time, I totaled parking for Metro's BRT and rail lines at 19,450 parking spaces. Despite Metro's plan to increase transit fares, the agency has no plan to increase parking charges. Metro gives more than 9 out of 10 spaces away for free. I did a conservative estimate of Metro's parking revenue potential to be at least $3.5 million per year.

Construction Begins on I-210 Gold Line Bridge
(The following is a press advisory from the Gold Line Foothill Construction Authority. We usually don't reprint press releases, or even talk about this rail extension out to the SGV, but I wanted to pass on the news that construction work on the Foothill Extension is well underway. And, I wanted to see what you thought of the bridge design. - DN)
