4 Named to Panel on New Valley Bus Zone
Los Angeles City Council President John Ferraro on Friday appointed four San Fernando Valley leaders, including City Councilman Alex Padilla, to serve on a panel that will oversee the creation of a separate bus system for the Valley.
In addition to Padilla, a resident of Pacoima, Ferraro appointed Valley Realtor and city Fire Commissioner Mel Wilson, Woodland Hills attorney and city Transportation Commissioner Roger Stanard and Renee Weitzer, a transportation aide to Ferraro.
The city of Los Angeles gets four of the nine seats on the Valley Transportation Zone Board, which will oversee a pending study to determine whether it is financially feasible for the Valley to take over bus operations from the Metropolitan Transportation Agency.
