Action Requested: Help Save Our Public Transportation
Action Alert: Vote to Terminate Beeline Shuttle This Tuesday at the Glendale City Council Meeting
Due to low ridership, the Glendale City Council is voting to terminate the BeeLine Shuttle in Glenoaks Canyon this Tuesday, Oct. 5th. Public transportation into Glenoaks Canyon has been provided continuously since the 1930s and it is a service that we hate to lose. Please help save this important canyon resource by attending the city council meeting and speaking out in favor of keeping the Beeline.
As mentioned at our GOCHA Annual Meeting on September 22nd, the City of Glendale is now considering removal of all public transportation in our Glenoaks Canyon. The Transportation Department submitted their recommendation to remove Line 13 to the Glendale City Council for their final decision to permanently stop all public transportation up Glenoaks Blvd.
GOCHA has been advised that the most effective method of communication would be to speak during Oral Communications* at the City Council Meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2010 at 613 E. Broadway, 2nd Floor. The regular business agenda starts at 6:00 PM. Please try to attend this council meeting.
We also recommend writing to Metro, Mr. Don Knabe, knabed@metro.net, the Metro Board, Mr. Arthur T.Leahy, leahya@metro.net , and Supervisor Michael Antonovich, fifthdistrict@bos.lacounty.gov.
Please contact Angela Vukos at (818) 247-2781 or via email svukos@sbcglobal.net if you will be able to attend the City Council meeting on Tuesday. Thank you for your support.
