Consider taking a position on a motion by Director Tom LaBonge:

LABONGE MOTION that the MTA Board support federal legislation that lifts the prohibition on the use of federal funds for the planning, designing, constructing or operating a subway within the boundaries of Robertson Blvd to Beverly Blvd, Oakwood Ave to La Brea Ave; La Brea to Melrose Ave; Melrose Ave to Rossmore Ave; Rossmore Ave to Eighth Street; La Brea Ave to Olympic Blvd; Olympic Blvd to San Vicente Blvd; San Vicente Blvd to Third Ave.

 

Further move that the MTA Planning Department staff identify for the Board those elements of the 1998 County Proposition A that pertain to the use of local sales tax revenues for subway projects. Based on that analysis, the staff should make recommendations to remove any restrictions regarding the use of transportation sales tax revenues for planning, designing, constructing, or operating any new subway.
