Well i think it will come up the next time congress debates on the transportation bill, which should be some time late next month. Like LAofAnaheim, though, i'm not optimistic.

Also, this may be kind of a dumb comment, but can't they just have another referendum to increase transit funds even more, maybe include it with the November presidential election. Seems LA is on a transit roll and people are responding very well to the changes, so why not give even more money to transit while this mayor is still in office. Heck, measure R raised taxes by one half of one penny. Make it a penny and get this done twice as fast and get to more projects.

In this economy, a Measure "R2" is not an option to voters. But I do think they'll change their mind in 2016 when the economy should/could be much better shape. For now, we are left with Measure "R+".
