Responding to deep budget cuts proposed by Gov. Gray Davis, the California Transportation Commission temporarily suspended approval Thursday of dozens of new spending requests, including funds for several high-profile projects in Los Angeles County... The decision temporarily put on hold funding in Los Angeles County for two light-rail lines, a downtown Los Angeles pedestrian improvement project and a rail cargo upgrade, among several other requests... the California Department of Transportation would lose $1.8 billion over the next year and a half, making it one of the hardest-hit agencies.
