A Wonky Debate Over Metro Regional vs. Sub-Regional Funding
There is an item that was bounced around at the Metro Board last month regarding freeway projects and whether they are "regional" or "subregional" facilities. Lakewood City Councilmember and Metro Boardmember Diane DuBois is pushing for L.A. freeway-widening projects to be classified as "regional" rather than "subregional" projects. Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin raised some issues over this re-classification. The final decision is likely to come back to the Metro Board for a showdown in April.

Getting to Know the New Metro Board Chair, Diane DuBois
The City of Lakewood is one of the more car-dependent cities in Los Angeles. Despite being the size of Santa Monica in population, under 500 people take transit to get to work. Even fewer walk or bicycle. Outside of a Dash Shuttle Van for seniors, Lakewood does not have its own transit system, relying instead on Metro and Long Beach Transit for service.
