Wilshire Bus Rapid Transit Project
Overview
The City of Los Angeles, Metro, and the County of Los Angeles are considering the feasibility of implementing a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project on Wilshire Boulevard. This project is examining the potential for dedicated curbside bus lanes during the morning and evening rush hours. The project area includes Wilshire Boulevard from just west of the 110 freeway to the Santa Monica City line, excluding the City of Beverly Hills. A joint document, consisting of an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment (IS/EA), is being conducted for the Wilshire BRT project to meet State and Federal environmental requirements. The IS/EA will also determine whether any further environmental assessment is necessary.
In November 2008, four community meetings were held along the project corridor. The meetings were attended by well over 300 residents and stakeholders who asked questions and expressed their views about the study and the proposed project. It is anticipated that the draft report will be circulated for public comment and a second round of community meetings held in late spring.
If you would like to be notified when the draft IS/EA is available, or when the second round of community meetings are scheduled, please go to Contact Us to fill out our Online Question/Comment form.
