Right Now - The Metro Board of Directors meets to vote on various matters related to the "Measure R+" ballot initiative for the November ballot. The Board will vote on the language that will appear on the ballot, an amendment allowing the Metro Board (with a two-thirds vote) to move funds from highway to transit projects within a geographic region, and many other things. You can read the full report prepared by staff, right here. Once there's news, we'll announce here and on our social media.

Aaaah, predictability. The Tuesday after a holiday is often considered the first "real" day of work. This week's glut of important public meetings on Tuesday really should have been spread out a little more.

The Week in Livable Streets Events
The devastating local impact of fracking might be one of the most important, and least discussed, major environmental issues in Southern California. Sahra Sulaiman covered a recent meeting between Baldwin Hills residents and the government agency allegedly overseeing the fracking going on in local oil fields. To say she was dissapointed and concerned is an understatement. There are two local events on fracking this week. If you live in or near Culver City or Long Beach, pay attention.

Tuesday - I bet there's a lot of great events scheduled for May Day that would be of interest to the Livable Streets community. Let us know if we've missed any in the comments section. East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice, Pacoima Beautiful, Communities for Better Environment, and La Causa, along with community members from the South East Los Angeles area will be marching in solidarity with migrant and workers’ rights. The march starts at 1:00 P.M. at Olympic and Broadway. Get the details, here.
