30-year blueprint for L.A.
9:35 AM | July 24, 2009
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority board on Thursday postponed a decision on whether to approve a $271-billion spending plan for the next 30 years that will emphasize the development of mass transit but still provide substantial funding for highway projects.
Board members said they delayed consideration of the MTA's long-range transportation plan because more time was needed to firm up funding and construction schedules for proposed highway projects -- a desire expressed by 75 of the county's 88 cities.
In other action, the board voted to support the California high-speed rail project and its first segment, which would connect L.A. with Anaheim.
