This week Metro celebrated a groundbreaking for future Southeast Gateway Line light rail. The 15-mile initial phase will extend from Artesia to Florence, connecting to numerous southeast L.A. County cities, plus the Metro A and C Lines.

Also this week:
– With a new state grant, Foothill Transit is buying new buses and adding a new line to connect colleges to San Dimas Station
– Metro and Caltrans are widening the 105 Freeway – adding toll lanes, no-toll auxiliary lanes, and widening connectors, ramps, and local streets
– those relentless daily headlines

Celebrating the Dodgers victory?!?! Bike, walk, and/or take transit to today’s 11 a.m. parade downtown – but hurry up – fans started gathering early.
