Transit Coalition Dinner Meeting January 23, 2007

Hello Southland Transit Supporters:

An Open Invitation from The Transit Coalition to join us...for our January 2007 Meeting.

At this gathering, we will discuss current MTA, Metrolink and Amtrak developments as of the new year, including the latest actions by the Mayor, the meaning on the passage of the state bonds, the MTA Long Range Plan update, the latest rail extensions and Metro post Consent Decree.

The Gold Line to East Los Angeles continues to progress with the completion of the tunnels and the Expo Joint Powers Authority is into construction with Scoping Meetings for Phase 2 to be held in either February or March.

Join us Tuesday, January 23, 2006 at Philippe the Original for our meeting and Brain Storming Session @ 6:44 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. (or longer!)

Important step by step directions:
After you get your food, we will take over some tables in the second floor meeting room, BUT first....we gather at the table near the "front door" cash register and then decide to go upstairs only when we get enough folks.

Check near the cash register to see if we are
there or if not, enter the upstairs on the Alameda St. side of the restaurant, as the west side has a sign that says the upstairs is closed.

Beware of the trick by the restaurant. After we go up, they put the closed sign back up. We will be up there, but call 818-367-1661, if you can't figure out where we are! Join us, if you can.

Pass the word. If you or anyone is interested, get them there Tuesday the 23rd.

Also, note: RSVP. If we know you are coming, we will look for you, so you don't stay lost from us.

Note: If you want to get the meeting e-mail directly, write bart.reed@thetransitcoalition.us and you can get on the list for future events.
