VIDEO: Sup. Ridley-Thomas Addresses The Crenshaw South Bay Transit Corridor Public Hearing

At yesterday’s final public hearing on the Crenshaw/South Bay Transit Corridor, Supervisor Ridley-Thomas made the case for Light Rail Transit (LRT) and urged the community to make their voices heard by attending the Metro Board of Directors meeting on December 10th:

“I want to say this, all of us are prepared to be reasonable. But don’t start skimping and saying what can’t happen when it comes to the rail that goes through the communities in which we live. We have enough of that and if it is good enough for other communities to have light rail as an alternative, well, it’s good enough for it to be in the Crenshaw/South Bay Corridor.

And that’s what we have to argue for. We have to argue for that by being present in substantial numbers. How many of you have been down to the MTA for any public meetings? Well, let me just say this, it would be my view that if all of us were there to the extent that the escalators were jammed, it would not hurt my feelings.”
