Of course the EIR said Corralitas would not be affected despite CalTrans admission that ALL proposed alternatives would put more traffic idling in the southbound lanes, below us, than we already have.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will present an update of their activities on the SR2/Glendale Freeway Terminus Project at the Thursday, April 5, 2012, meeting of the Echo Park Improvement Association (EPIA). It has been 18 months since Metro last informed the community of
its actions.
its actions.
Although members of EPCAC and the EPIA were in touch with Council President Garcetti's office, Congressman Becerra's office, and Supervisor Molina's office in 2011 for help in getting new information about Metro's "hybrid" design for the Terminus Project, Metro provided little. Nor did community-led petitioning efforts draw any response from Metro.
Petitions were signed by numerous residents and business people opposing Metro's plan to do away with street parking on the west side of Glendale Boulevard south of the "flyover" off-ramp. Petitions were also signed opposing the sound wall proposal for the southern end of the Terminus, and more were signed in opposition to the planned deletion of a left-turn lane from the off-ramp on the east side of Glendale Boulevard.
We urge to you attend this meeting to find out what, exactly, Metro has to say.
Judith Raskin, Chairperson
Echo Park Community Action Committee
