A possible solution to LA traffic… another bus?!
Zach Behrens over at laist.com is reporting that the Los Angeles MTA, in addressing the parking lot that has become that city’s westside, has issued 19 alternative public transportation solutions for the “subway to the sea”. Incredibly, one of those “solutions” does not even include a subway, but rather the addition of another express bus. For a city that is remembered for its currently unbearable traffic and smog and is forgotten for its previously illustrious public railways, one would think that building (rebuilding?) the city’s rail system would be a no-brainer. This isn’t to say that there aren’t good intentions, which there clearly are, it is just that this problem has existed for so long (and continues to get worse), that it is time for real action not just a bunch of “alternatives”.
The Governator gives McCain the nod…
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger officially endorsed John McCain for the Arizona senator’s bid for the presidency today. Gov. Schwarzenegger is known for having differed with his Republican party in the past over the environment and it is assumed that this endorsement is related to McCain embracing a more pro-environment policy, which has not been entirely clear in the past.
