Don’t Let Metro Think You've Given Up

Thursday October 22, 2009:

Metro Board to Vote on Foothill Extension Funding!

Your Help Means More Now Than Ever



Northeast Pasadena,







Wednesday’s Metro Planning and Programming Committee gave us our first glimpse of what to expect at next Thursday’s Metro Board Meeting when the Board will consider the Long Range Transportation Plan. Metro is still planning to delay the Foothill Extension by four years from operating in 2013 to 2017!

So many of you over the last two years have told us countless stories about why you need Foothill Extension service from Pasadena to Azusa as soon as possible. Your support means more now than ever.

The Construction Authority is ready to break ground in June 2010, so why the wait? Metro has collected an increase in your sales tax dollars for months now, so why the delay?

These are questions you can ask Metro between now and next Thursday and you deserve answers.

Here is what you can do:



Join your fellow I Will Ride supporters and attend next Thursday’s Metro Board Meeting – Thursday, Oct. 22, 2009 at 9 a.m. at Metro Headquarters. Click here to RSVP. Let us know if you need transportation.

Send an e-mail to the Metro Board of Directors by visiting www.iwillride.org/email.html. You can send the e-mail direct to all 13 Board Members with one easy click.

Let’s make sure the Metro Board knows that a four year delay is not acceptable to the San Gabriel Valley.
