Another map of Measure R results

Here's a map of Measure R results in Los Angeles County that was assembled by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, using only the results from polling places. That will likely turn out to be about 75% of the votes cast for Measure R, so it's a good sample but not complete one.

The map certainly provides a broader view of results by percentage than the Google map I posted a few weeks ago. That map looks strictly at whether Measure R passed or failed in cities around the county.

The Sales Tax increases July 1, 2009. The first money becomes available about November 2009. As far as projects go for the first 10 years, look the this website: http://lavisions.blogspot.com/ , as it gives a visual understanding of the projects first up. Because of the tax passage, Metro fares will not increase as scheduled in 2009.

Steve - Now that it appears pretty sure R will pass, can you find out a couple of things:
1. when does the tax kick in?
2. when will the MTA publish a priority list and schedule for the projects?

It looks like there was considerable support throughout the county, but three hotbeds of support came from the Santa Monica, the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills and the Eastside regions.

I really hope Gloria Molina takes note of that. We need to figure out to get some sort of transportation/transit network to both the Westside and Eastside regions, but only the Westside is coming up with some ideas for the people to work with.
