Congressman Adam Schiff Joins New Coalition of Cities, Communities,
and Allies to Launch `Beyond the 710," New Plan to Replace SR -710
Tunnel Debate with 21 Century Smart Mobility Measures to Connect
People and Relieve Congestion for All Communities
The Connected Cities and Communities, comprised of 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.
