2021 Update on LA Metro Projects (Part 3 of 3): The Infrastructure Bill

UPDATE: Good news, everyone! The Arts District Station surprisingly just got fully-funded! It wasn't out of the programs listed in the video (so technically I was right about that, haha), but rather out of leftover money from Measure M. So it'll likely be done even sooner than my optimistic prediction in the video.

Third of a three-part series on the latest news regarding LA Metro projects as of August 2021. This video covers the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill as passed by the Senate. Yes, it's been a long time coming. Note that the reconciliation package has NOT passed the Senate yet, just advanced to the next stage, which means there's still a fight ahead.

When I'm not trying to figure out what formula funding is, I’m a documentary producer and editor. If you want to see more stuff by me that's entirely unrelated to the Metro, check out the documentary Behind the Curve (about flat-earthers and the psychology of belief) streaming on Netflix, or to rent or buy on iTunes/Amazon/Google Play. Or to see some more of my editing, check out the documentary Transhood on HBO. Currently, we’re at work on a doc about the hunt for Planet Nine, among other projects.
