The fact that we passed Measure M, a no sunset transportation sales tax, which is helping build the Wilshire Subway, a line through the Sepulveda Pass, the Regional Connector and many other needed transit projects is cause for celebration. #MeasureM when I lived there #LAMetro was considering converting the Orange Line to rail. Maybe, though there are lots of other regional transit priorities.
