Columnist Doug McIntyre relaxes on a train on the East Coast and decides a rail line through/over the Sepulveda Pass is the best way to help Valley commuters. Interesting talk from the Daily News, which at times has expressed serious skepticism over a Westside subway.

Divided L.A. Council can’t decide on red light cameras (L.A. Times)
