MTA yard closing after 98 years
The bus yard that once housed the old Red Cars
when Venice was connected with Los Angeles by trolley, has been traded by the
MTA for a lot at Jefferson and Rodeo avenues.
That lot is owned by Venice Art Lofts, which is
building condominiums across the street. The strikers say the MTA is planning to
spend $8 million on the new lot, although it will not pay for their health care.
There is no word yet what use will be
made of the Venice lot. Neighbors have suggested either parking or affordable
housing, or both.
