Tempers flare in Pasadena over 710
9 Aug

The residents jeered a battery of Mettopolitan Transit Authority consultants dispatched by the agency to allay fears that the state has immediate plans to transform a portion of their neighborhood into six lanes of asphalt highway.
As the crowd grew agitated, a Metro consultant said they needed to keep quiet or leave. Long-time San Rafael resident Nancy Youngblut wanted to turn the request into a political statement. [more]
