The High Speed Rail line from Burbank to Union Station will involve infringement upon bike paths, parks, the eminent domain of businesses and will generate air pollution for the communities near the project. Providing feedback is particularly important for neighborhoods along the LA River already impacted by Metrolink’s Central Maintenance Facility and freight parking pollution, whose communities are on the path of the proposed line.

Please familiarize yourself with the project by visiting HSR.GOV and searching out articles such as this piece from the LA Times that looks at potential job losses and public health impacts.

Zoom Info will be provided upon RSVP.
