Brief overview of my NO 710 stanceBy Alan ReynoldsCandidate for Member, City Council; City of South Pasadena |

I oppose the extension of the 710 above and below ground, in any direction.I oppose the extension of the 710 above and below ground, in any direction. I do not think that Alhambra needs any more trucks and cars either (which is what a southern expansion would cause) and it does not solve the real issue of getting goods from the Port of Los Angeles to outlying areas. After hearing and reading presentations from various groups and personal observations while previously working as an Environment Engineer for a study at the Port, we need to get the containters on trains to a real hub area. This will reduce infrastructure costs at the port, and help the environment as well. Having been an outside sales engineer and driven extensively on our southern california freeways, the solution to our problem is not more freeways, anywhere, in anyone's "back yard", but to reduce the truck traffic. If we get a multi-modal solution in place for the whole region, we can reduce traffic on all our freeways, fix a myriad of issues that are plagueing the region, and cut costs to our state, which last I checked was broke. Oh and will stop the passage of more freeways, including the 710. |
