Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa tomorrow is expected to announce his plans in building support for something he calls the "30/10" push to accelerate Measure R transit projects--the voted in half cent sales tax increase--from being completed in 30 years to 10 years.
We bask in that vision, too, chock full of a subway to the sea (or just UCLA), a light rail from Culver City to Santa Monica, a rail connection to LAX and more. The big question is, how will it be done? Is this a realistic endeavor?
Hopefully that will be answered tomorrow when he speaks at the Los Angeles Business Council’s Annual Mayoral Housing, Transportation, and Jobs Summit at UCLA tomorow afternoon, a few hours after he takes a sneak peek ride on the new Gold Line Eastside Extension.

Yes! This is why I support AnVil. For all his faults, he is and has always been a supporter of our urban future. He'll be considered a visionary in 25 years.
If he pulls it off, it will be the only thing he is remembered for. I can live with that.
