According to a posting on redcarproperty.blogspot.com, “Despite a 17 year process redesigning the 2 Freeway Terminus at Glendale Blvd. leading to overwhelming support from the community for Alternative D (which maximized public park space), The Powers That Be created a bastardized version they’ll present at a Community Open House on Nov. 4.

“The bastardized version, or as Metro calls it, the ‘Hybrid Alternative,’ completely ignores one of the main purposes of the Terminus redesign: removing vehicle traffic from the southbound flyover ramp at the Terminus. Years ago, I remember then City Councilmember and later, Assemblymember Jackie Goldberg as well as County Supervisor Gloria Molina insisting this was a primary goal because the traffic coming off the flyover ramp was unsafe for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians.“

The meeting on the 2 Freeway Terminus Redesign takes place takes place on Wed., November 4, 2009 from 6:00-8:00 pm.
