We need people
to attend.
Thursday, July 10th
4 - 7 pm - meet at the intersection of Valley Blvd. and Fremont Avenue in Alhambra
It is critical that we reinforce
opposition to the Tunnels in favor
of better solutions. Please try
to attend and help get the word
out about the truth behind this
project. We have information
cards prepared that address facts
about the project, backed by
references to Metro's own reports,
that we use as starting points for
conversations and to distribute to
Alhambrans.
Wear red or your No 710 T-shirt,
and look for those of us also
wearing red/ No 710 T-Shirts.
You can order a NO 710 T-shirt
for the event by emailing No710store@gmail.com or
call 626-354-4340. Let them
know it's for the "710
Day" event.
From the 710 Coalition's website:
"The goal (of 710 Day) is to raise awareness about the proposed 710 freeway extension from Alhambra to Pasadena, while creating a fun and informative environment where the community can learn more about the project. Various booths will be present to share information about the many benefits of completing the 710 Freeway. Learn about the 710-Corridor project and get answers to your questions at this family-friendly event!"
The majority of those present last year at Alhambra's 710 Day were City employees wearing blue "Close the Gap" T-Shirts and who knew very little about the SR-710 North Study. Members of the No 710 Action Committee attended, walking around and talking with those in attendance about the facts. We discovered that most did not know that the tunnels would be tolled, and that City officials had been telling their citizens that trucks would not be allowed in the tunnels -- something that has not been determined and is unlikely to be true.
