LA Metro’s community meetings planned this week for Sepulveda Transit Corridor have been cancelled. According to what Nick Andert is hearing, there is a chance that LA Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins may be trying to cancel the project.

I am hearing some, uh, VERY concerning things about the sepulveda line... trying to get more confirmation but it seems there's a chance Metro (presumably Stephanie Wiggins) is trying to wholly spike the project without releasing the EIR
