The Source reported recently that the Metro team in charge of planning the proposed downtown L.A. streetcar had selected seven “alternatives” to study in greater detail as the process goes forward.

Metro hosted a community update meeting last week to go over those routes and other project details with the public; the meeting’s powerpoint presentation now available here. Those of you who checked out the briefing package from Oct. 25 will see some familiar information and graphics. This presentation, however, helps put everything in context — that is, where the project stands and where it’s heading.

As always, please send the Metro streetcar team your comments on the project so that they can become part of the public record:

• Via Email: streetcarservice@metro.net
• Via Voicemail: (213) 922-3000
• And via standard mail: Metro, c/o Laura Cornejo, One Gateway Plaza, 99-22-2, Los Angeles, CA  90012
