I was told that those for the 710 tunnel were wearing blue shirts and that they were all employees of Alhambra. The young students wearing blue shirts were Alhambra's summer hires. What are they celebrating, has Metro selected an Alternative?

Note: Metro did not send any representatives to this event.
