División 3 en el norte de Los Angeles – A 100 años y continúa El 22 de mayo de 1907 los tranvías de Los Angeles Railway salieron de los patios del ferrocarril de la Calle Figueroa en las zonas más despobladas del Norte de Los Angeles para empezar a prestar servicio de transporte público.

El 22 de mayo de 2007 los autobuses de la División 3 al norte de Los Angeles de Metro saldrán a los patios de la división de autobuses cerca de la Calle Figueroa en el área residencial de Cypress Park para continuar una tradición de 100 años de transporte público.

Ha habido muchos cambios durante el último siglo en los bulliciosos patios de autobuses de la avenida West 28 y la Calle Idell, transformándose de un lugar para tranvías y vías para trenes de madera eléctricos a espacios para estacionar autobuses y una estación de combustible de gas natural comprimido para 200 autobuses.

Los primeros autobuses, o coches a motor, como se conocían en ese entonces, hicieron su aparición en ese lugar en 1945 para ampliar su área de servicio. El último de los tranvías fue descontinuado en 1955 dando camino a aún más servicio de autobuses.

Ha habido varios cambios de nombre durante los años. Lo que comenzó como Los Angeles Railway en 1907 se convirtió en las líneas Los Angeles Transit en los 1940s, Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority en los 1950s, el Southern California Rapid Transit District en los 1960s y finalmente Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority en los 1990s.

En el aniversario por sus 100 años, la división cuenta con más de 200 autobuses, 400 conductores y 100 mecánicos. Catorce líneas de autobús se originan en esta división llegando hasta Pasadena, Hollywood, el Centro y el Oeste de Los Angeles.

Pero cualquiera que sea el vehículo, nombre o ruta, la División 3 del Norte de Los Angeles existe para proveer transporte público y lo ha hecho por más de 100 años de existencia.

De un paso atrás en el tiempo con recorridos gratuitos con guías a seis museos históricos y ahorre tiempo al visitarlos en un sólo día en la 18va edición anual del “Día de los Museos del Arroyo” el domingo 20 de mayo en Los Angeles y Pasadena.

Camine por los pasillos de una mansión de la época victoriana que alguna vez fue considerada la más grandiosa en Los Angeles. Vea las mejores muestras del movimiento arquitectónico “Arts y Crafts.” Pasee por un jardín de plantas nativas únicas, y visite los jardines de una de las pocas casas que quedan a lo largo de la antigua “Millionaires’ Row” o fila de millonarios de Pasadena.

Eventos especiales, exhibiciones históricas, recorridos guiados, música y muestras de manualidades también realzan las actividades del día en los museos desde las 11 de la mañana hasta las 5 de la tarde. Además, por primera vez este año habrá un despliegue por el Departamento de Policía de Los Angeles de recuerdos de los años 1800.

Viaje en Metro a la Estación Heritage Square de Metro Gold Line y trasborde al servicio de enlace gratuito que brindará servicio cada 15 minutos para trasladarlo a los seis museos ubicados a lo largo de Arroyo Seco.

Este año los lugares del “Día de los Museos del Arroyo” incluyen:

> The Gamble House – Construida en 1908, es Monumento Histórico Nacional dentro del estilo del movimiento americano “Arts y Crafts” de los renombrados arquitectos Greene y Greene de Pasadena.

> Museo Heritage Square – Una colección única de casas y edificios de la época Victoriana que muestran como se desarrollaron Los Angeles de pequeños poblados a una gran metrópolis.

> Museo Histórico de la Policía de Los Angeles – Ubicado en la renovada Estación de Policía de Highland Park de 1925, el museo se caracteriza por colecciones privadas y muestras de la historia del Departamento de Policía de Los Angeles que datan de los inicios de 1869.

> The Lummis Home and Garden – Construida a principios del siglo pasado con piedras del arroyo por Charles Lummis, fundador del Museo Southwest y un impulsador cívico de la época.

> Museo de la Historia de Pasadena – Se enfoca en la historia de Pasadena y el Valle de San Gabriel y está ubicado en los terrenos de la Mansión Beaux Arts Fenyes de 1906 en lo que alguna vez fue la calle de fila de los millonarios de Pasadena.

> Museo Southwest – El museo más antiguo de Los Angeles contiene una de las colecciones más importantes de la nación relacionada con la historia de los Indios Americanos.

North Los Angeles Division 3 – 100 Years Old And Going Strong On May 22, 1907 the trolley cars of the Los Angeles Railway pulled out of the rail yard o= Figueroa Street in the mostly wide-open fields of North Los Angeles to begin providing public transportation service.

On May 22, 2007 the buses of Metro’s North Los Angeles Division 3 will pull out of the bus yard near Figueroa Street in the residential area of Cypress Park to continue a 100-year tradition of public service.

There have been many changes during the last century at the bustling yard at West Avenue 28 and Idell Street, transforming it from car barns and train tracks for wooden electric trolleys to bus bays and a compressed natural gas fueling station for 200 buses.

The first buses, or motor coaches as they were known back then, made their appearance at the location in 1945 to expand its service area. The last of the rail cars were phased out in 1955 giving way to even more bus service.

And there have been several name changes over the years. What began as the Los Angeles Railway in 1907 became Los Angeles Transit lines in the 1940s, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority in the 1950s, the Southern California Rapid Transit District in the 1960s and finally the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority in the 1990s.

On the anniversary of its 100th year, the division is home to more than 200 buses, 400 operators and 100 mechanics. Fourteen bus lines originate at the division reaching as far as Pasadena, Hollywood, west and central LA.

But whatever the vehicles or names or routes, North Los Angeles Division 3 exists to provide public transportation and has for 100 years.
