Riders make a storm

TRANSIT: After vociferous opposition from the public, the MTA has slightly bailed on their plan to wholly bail on the expansion plans for bus service to tie-in with the bus-only route called the Orange Line, which will run from Warner Center to North Hollywood. The vote was 8-0 says Lisa Mascaro of the Daily News. But the ax fell on some plans, including a Reseda-specific project:

The MTA had proposed eliminating two east-west commuter bus routes and trimming back underused routes in order to add more north-south service to connect to the busway.

Also proposed were a new route from Reseda to Westwood and a new Pierce College shuttle, both of which have been withdrawn.

The MTA touts the cool new buses --- but seemingly can't show them.

Next week, the Pierce College Art Gallery will begin its exhibit of art planned for the stations. The "Art that will move you" exhibit has its opening reception Saturday, Apr. 2, 1-4 pm.
