Local News in Brief : Public Meetings Set on Metro Rail
The Rapid Transit District has scheduled two public meetings to discuss benefit assessment districts for the second phase of the Metro Rail project. The route of Phase 2 goes as far west as Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue in the Mid-Wilshire district, and as far north as North Hollywood. Input from the meetings will be given to a task force that will advise policy makers on benefit assessment districts for Phase 2. Assessments from the private sector are expected to generate about $75 million, or 5% of the total funds, toward the cost of building Phase 2.
The first meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. March 16 in the main meeting room at the Hollywood Senior Multipurpose Center, 6501 Fountain Ave. The second is at 1 p.m. March 21 at the Los Angeles City College Student Center, 855 N. Vermont Ave.
