Metro elects to fund road improvements in lieu of completing 710 gap
|
|
|
Last Thursday, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) - in a 12 to 0 vote - elected to fund local road improvements instead of closing the 4.5 mile SR-710 gap between Alhambra and Pasadena. One of five options proposed by Metro staff, these improvements (known as the "Transportation System Management/Transportation Demand Management" option) would channel $105 million of Measure R funds to develop and implement local road improvements within the San Gabriel Valley.

Last Thursday, the Public Works Department celebrated Public Works Day with a free barbecue lunch, equipment demonstrations and giveaways for local community residents.

The event also featured several booths from local utilities and contractors that serve San Gabriel, including Southern California Edison, the San Gabriel Humane Society, Athens Services, West Coast Arborists and the San Gabriel County Water District. Dozens of schoolchildren and local residents were on hand to interact with our Public Works staff.
