Area cities back 60 Freeway light-rail route

Five cities - Alhambra, El Monte, Monterey Park, Rosemead and South El Monte - have sent letters of support to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

All of the routes for the ELA currently being considered suck. The 60 Route sucks the most, because it would serve anybody. Wow politics is strange-it doesn't have to actually make anything really work.

Hello, I am a resident of Las Vegas. However, I was born in LA and lived in the San gabriel Valley most of my life. I remember the Red Cars and the wonderful mass transit system. At least you folks are doing something about the bad traffic problems, as opposed to Las vegas, who thinks the answer is more busses. Having traveled the areas, I believe that the Pomona Freeway route would be best. Here's a thought, Is it possible to extend the route past the 605 Freeway into Whitter? I am not sure of a route, but it might be worth looking into. That way, most factions would be helped. The more people that this line serves is helpful in reducing polution. The existing lines are all great. I have ridden many of them and it is a great way to get around. I haven't tryed the Metro Link yet, but that looks like a great way to travel from outlying areas. Busses are not the answer, as they use fossil fuels.Electric busses might be another way to go, you don't have to build an extensive roadbed. Anything that you do will go a long way in going green. Good luck. I look forward to reading more. Thanks for listening. Sincerely, Frank Way

[SGV Succession Now]

No more maybes and what ifs. This is a distraction tool.

No Gold Line; then no sales tax and No Toll lanes! Refuse taxation without representation. Don't buy big ticket items in LA County, use the internet. And just revolt and disregard the toll lanes. If you get a ticket don't pay. It will only work if everyone joins in.

We need a succession movement from Los Angeles now. Those criminals will keep riding us for taxes until we're dead.

Who ever puts together a succession movement from Los Angeles will get honored with a statue at both ends of the SGV. The SGV has enough money to become the next Orange County and can be great if we use our money on ourselves. We should annex the unincorporated areas of LA that are a blight in our communities, fix them up and have nothing to do with Los Angeles County except maybe contract with them for emergency services when needed. We pay an arm and a leg for those services anyway.

It is as clear as day now. The SGV makes the money. We pay taxes. LA country takes money. They are tax takers. We give; they take and give it to anyone in LA County but us. That is the only relationship we have with LA County. Most recently they have been bullied by the San Fernando Valley mafia after this area ran a successful succession movement. Good for them, bad for us.

These bastards in LA City Hall and at the MTA think we are too complacent and stupid to put together a succession movement. LA County and those city hall bribe taking crooks think we are nothing more than a bunch of do nothing aging W.A.S.P’s coupled with gullible money making immigrants. Let’s pack our shit and leave and see how well they do when the gravy train stops.
