[Click image to enlarge.]
PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale is encouraging area residents to weigh in on the guidelines under development by Los Angeles County Metro for Measure M.

Local residents are urged to submit their comments at http://theplan.metro.net by May 26.

On March 23, 2017, the Metro Board approved the release of the Draft Measure M Guidelines for public comment. As part of the public review, the newly formed Policy Advisory Council (PAC) – representing transportation consumers, providers and jurisdictions – will comment and advise the Metro Board on the draft guidelines. The PAC membership and representation information was also provided to the Metro Board in March.

All comments on the Measure M Draft Guidelines should be submitted to theplan@metro.net by May 26. Revised guidelines will be presented to the Metro Board for adoption at the June 2017 Board Meeting.

About Measure M

In November of 2016, voters passed Measure M, a ½ cent sales tax to improve transportation infrastructure countywide.  Metro is administering the program to ensure funds go to transportation projects and programs throughout the county.

For more information, visit http://theplan.metro.net. A link is also available at the City of Palmdale’s website at www.cityofpalmdale.org.

    There’s a lot of money for fixing streets, and other things. Every idiot should know that…well for the exception of William . I’m tired of being nickel & dimed/robbed through taxes.

    Please stop the fallacy that only Democrats are tax fools. Here in the Antelope Valley we have four Republicans who signed a letter of support for the gas tax increase as part of AVTA. Those four Republicans are Marvin Crist, Steve Hofbauer, Angela Underwood and Austin Bishop.

    Antelope Valley commuters will suffer the most and these four Republicans did nothing to help them.

    I am no fan of Jerry Brown but at least he is up front about his support for the gas tax. Our local politicians Marvin Crist, Steve Hofbauer, Austin Bishop, and Angela-Underwood Jacobs, all Republicans, all supported AVTA’s endorsement of the gas tax bill but don’t want anyone to know. Hypocrites.
