Metro Bass Issues Statement on Approval of Metro K Line Northern Extension

"Today is a great day for Los Angeles: we are moving full steam ahead with what will be the highest ridership light rail line in the nation. The K Line extension will not only enhance mobility, it will create union jobs, shorter commutes, less smog, and improve access to housing, education, and opportunity. I am proud to have co-authored today's motion with Supervisor Lindsey Horvath.

"As we advance the project, we are also taking steps to make sure the voices of Mid-City residents are heard. These are communities that have suffered historic injustice, like the carving out of the 10 freeway. Our motion ensures that we respect the community without any delay to the project, which was unanimously approved by the Board."
