Measure M passes in LA County

Since I don't know wtf Measure M is:
>Measure M would raise the county sales tax by a half-penny, generating an estimated $120 billion over four decades for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to build new highway projects and expand bus and rail lines, including boring twin rail tunnels through the Sepulveda Pass.

>The rail system would expand to Pacoima, Claremont, Westwood, Torrance and Artesia. The tax also would fully or partly fund 10 highway projects, such as an extension of the freeway on State Route 71 and a new carpool-lane interchange between the 405 and 110 freeways.

>Measure M would raise the county’s base sales tax rate by half-cent in 2017 and increase it to 1% in 2039 after another half-cent sales tax expires. The levy would continue until voters choose to end it.
Sounds okay. The LA area is getting interesting.

For those of you who don't know, the Sepulveda Pass is one of the worst bottlenecks in the world that connects the San Fernando Valley to the LA Basin. A tunnel with rail lines would be a real game changer.

What kind of rail lines would go through them?

>Good

Western Pacific Union that secedes from the US when?

There is already petitions circulating and movements and organizations gaining steam for "Calexit"

>>1025460
Does that mean that meme-streetcar in Tacoma will become part of the light rail line?

>>1025460
when is SEATAC going to fix their fucking train?

>hurr let's build a train with 2 tracks so we can have higher capacity
>oh no, we built the tracks too close to each other
>uh ok, just only run one train at a time

like jesus christ people need to be fired for that shit

I agree about Issaquah but Fife is on the way to Tacoma and is therefor unavoidable.

Tacoma Link will remain separate from the rest of the LRT system because it uses different sized vehicles, smaller platforms and a lower power voltage. It's better that way anyway.

What are you even talking about?
