SPECIAL UPDATE: ATTEND THE JUNE 13 CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Could it happen here? In this composite image, we've superimposed what had to be done in Seattle (to repair that project's tunnel boring machine) with what might have to be done in Pasadena near Huntington Hospital (looking south along S. Pasadena Ave. at the intersection with W. California Blvd). In Seattle, a gigantic pit had to be dug to disassemble the broken machine and hoist it to the surface in pieces via scaffolding rising six stories above the ground. The construction zone there encompasses numerous city blocks. A similar rescue operation could take place anywhere along the tunnel route in Pasadena, South Pasadena or El Sereno.
  
Neighbors:

The West Pasadena Residents' Association encourages you to attend the Pasadena City Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. this Monday, June 13, at City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave. At the meeting, the council will discuss Mayor Terry Tornek's proposal to place an initiative on the November ballot to repeal Measure A. Passed in 2001 by Pasadena voters, Measure A directed the city to support the "completion of the 710 extension." At the WPRA's annual meeting on May 18, Mayor Tornek called for the repeal of Measure A so that the city can oppose the 710 tunnel without reservation.
