ACTION ALERT: SGVCOG to Vote on $3.3 Billion Funding Recommendation 7/23!

PictureComplete Streets, one option for the SGV
On Thursday July 23rd the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) will host a special meeting to take action on formal recommendations on how the region should spend an estimated $3.3 billion in potential future sales tax revenues.

The hotly anticipated successor to Measure R, which has funded the expansion of LA County's rail network since 2008 - including the Foothill Gold Line extension - would likely be placed before voters in November 2016. However, before that can happen, the Metro Board will have to craft and approve a measure they feel will be supported by 2/3rds of County voters. 

Should the region focus the lion's share of additional transportation investments on highways?  Public transit?  Pedestrian and bicycle improvements? 

How these questions are answered will determine if a future measure will accelerate the region's transition to a more equitable, sustainable and multi-modal transportation system. 

SGVCOG Draft Recommendations

The SGVCOG's Transportation Committee recommends that revenue from a future transportation measure be spent in the following manner in the San Gabriel Valley.  
  • 40% Transit - $1.32 billion for Foothill and Eastside Gold Line extensions and bus improvements
  • 39% Highways - $1.29 billion for Capacity and "efficiency" improvements to the 10, 60, 605, 71, 210 and 710 freeways
  • 7% Demand Based Program - High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) extensions and connectors (i.e. freeways)
  • 6% Modal Connectivity - $198 million for First and Last Mile (to transit) and Complete Streets improvements
  • 5% Active Transportation - $165 million for pedestrian and bike facilities
  • 2% ITS/Technology - $65 million for advanced signal technology
  • 1% Goods Movements - $33 million for railroad crossing improvements
