Second Westside Subway Meeting Scheduled

Those interested in actually getting somewhere on the notoriously gridlocked Westside may be interested in a meeting Tuesday, July 17, to support a subway to serve the area.

Residents can learn about the grassroots movement to lobby for a subway from the Purple Line to the ocean at the meeting sponsored by Southern California Transit Advocates, a nonprofit transit group.

This is the second meeting this summer for the group that's looking to build community support for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's vision of a "subway to the sea." The nonprofit is using a $4,000 grant from the American Public Transportation Association to host these meetings and held its first May 22.

It all takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. in the auditorium of the Beverly Hills Public Library, 444 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills.
