After Decades of Taxes Is the Valley Finally Getting Real Mass Transit?
Please join us at 6:30 pm on Monday January 21 for a fact-filled discussion on Valley Transportation held in the 2nd floor conference room of Galpin Ford at 15555 Roscoe Blvd. Our guests for the evening will be Bart Reed, executive director of The Transit Coalition, Jason Ackerman, a Van Nuys Neighborhood Council’s transportation tzar and Tony Wilkinson, president of the North Hills East Neighborhood Council.
Please come and prepare to take notes since they will discuss:
- East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Project (A light rail line running down the middle of Van Nuys Blvd.)
- Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project (A subway from Van Nuys under the Santa Monica Mountains to Westwood)
- North San Fernando Valley Bus Rapid Transit Project (Dedicated bus lane running along Nordhoff to CSUN)
- NoHo to Pasadena Transit Corridor
- Metro Orange Line Improvements Project (Still a bus, but a bit faster)
There also will be a brief update on several Metrolink projects and some tips on how to master the occasionally bewildering network of bus routes
If you’re well rested from the holidays why not get into the spirit of the evening and take a bus to the meeting. Jason Ackerman has some suggestions.

Metro 152 along Roscoe Blvd; exit Roscoe/Orion for a 0.1-mile/3-minute walk
