Campagne Damien Goodman / citoyens pour réparer la ligne ferroviaire Expo

Lundi, Avril 25, 2011

The Citizens’ Campaign to Fix the Expo Rail Line (or for short “Fix Expo Rail Campaign” or “Fix Expo”) was launched in 2007 to inform the community about the numerous grave deficiencies in the majority-minority South Los Angeles segment of the $640 millions $785 millions $862 million Downtown LA-to-Culver City light rail transit project. The initial goal was to expand on the efforts of other local grassroots organizations, like Expo Communities United, which had been advocating on this issue for decades, to request our political leadership work to fix the problems so the Expo Line can be a good and safe neighbor to the local community and best benefit the region.

In the fall of 2009, given the obvious overlap in community organizations represented by the Fix Expo Rail Campaign, they expanded our portfolio to include the proposed Crenshaw-LAX Line.

The Fix Expo Rail Campaign is based and organizes in the South Los Angeles segment of the Expo Line and Crenshaw Line corridors, and spawned the incorporation of United Community Associations (UCA), a grassroots South LA nonprofit organization.

Fix Expo has held dozens of community meetings, gone door-to-door on numerous occasions, marched the tracks, met with elected officials, delivered statements and releases, published reports, written op-eds, been profiled in video, print and radio media and engaged in several other activities to unite the community, bridge coalitions, and generate awareness of this important issue. Un des nombreux objectifs importants de leurs efforts est à la recherche et fournir des rapports d'agence / mémos et amplifier les préoccupations exprimées par les experts internationaux de la sécurité ferroviaire et de la circulation.

Actuellement, Correction Expo (grâce à notre entité officielle, UCA) est engagé dans plusieurs actions en justice contre administratives MTA, l'éminent avant la CPUC, dans une tentative pour apporter des changements positifs au projet et l'ensemble du système.

La campagne Fix Expo ferroviaire est dirigé par Save Leimert Quartier Coalition, Communautés Expo États-, La Coalition des propriétaires Baldwin Hills / Crenshaw, et plusieurs autres organismes communautaires.
