Congressman Adam Schiff joins new coalition of cities, communities, and allies to launch “Beyond the 710.”

Five San Gabriel Valley cities and community allies will join Congressman Adam Schiff to announce “Beyond the 710: Moving Forward,” a new plan to replace the tired debate over the proposed 710 Tunnel with a set of forward-thinking mobility and smart growth proposals that will better connect people to important destinations and relieve congestion throughout the San Gabriel Valley, while ending the debate over a tunnel proposal that has generated widespread and passionate opposition.

Beyond the 710 will also distribute written copies of its Plan, which will be presented to the Metro Board at its meeting following the press conference, and will launch a new website to encourage community participation.
