Tax Benefits Seen in Rapid Transit Plan
A Long Beach official says the proposed 2.5 billion Los Angeles County rapid transit plan could raise central city property values by 400 to 500 percent and shift some tax burden from suburbs to downtown. He notes 20,000 parking spaces planned by 1975 could be avoided with rapid transit and stresses transit moves people, not cars, amid rising vehicle counts and traffic tieups. The plan outlines an 89 mile first stage with five corridors linking Wilshire area, San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, LAX area, Long Beach, and downtown, plus 29 express feeder bus routes and 135 local lines.
