As reported previously, the CTC will meet in Glendale on Wed., Oct. 8. According to the agenda (attached), the meeting will convene at 12:30 p.m.
Emerald Salon
Embassy Suites Los Angeles Glendale

According to hotel staff, there is an on-site parking structure. The representative I spoke to was uncertain about the cost for parking on that day, but suggested it should be about $7.
The SR-710 is not on the
agenda (http://www.slideshare.net/peggydrouet/100814ctcagenda), but it is
very important that we attend
and continue our dialogue with
the commissioners. Our comments
will have to be made during the
Public Comment period. The No
710 Action committee suggests
that your comments focus on two issues:
A. Getting the support of the CTC in asking Caltrans/Metro to increase the public review period for the draft EIR/EIS from the current 90 days.
B. Informing the CTC that
the number of public hearings
planned (only 2) during
the review period is inadequate
and unfair -- especially since
there have been 4 public
hearings held during the past
week for the recently-released
Eastside Transit Corridor Phase
2 DEIR/EIS. The study area for
the East Side Transit Corridor
Phase 2 EIR/EIS 80 square miles
and has a population of
720,850. The study area for the
SR-710 North EIR/EIS is 100
square miles with a population
of 1.18 million (2008 census).
These numbers clearly
demonstrate the inequity in the
opportunities afforded the
public.
