Pedestrian View Of Los Angeles

This blog focuses on rail lines in LA country that exist, are under construction or under consideration. The Californian high-speed rail project and southern CA to Vegas project will also be covered. Since most of the relevant developments in the news, rail websites and blogosphere take place on weekdays, this blog will be updated primarily Monday through Friday and occasionally on the weekends. Your comments, criticism and suggestions are encouraged. Miscellaneous stuff will also appear here.

Metro Orange Line Extension (www.metro.net)

Metro Orange Line Extension


Overview:

The Metro Orange Line Extension will extend four miles north from Canoga Station to the Chatsworth Metrolink Station. This dedicated busway will offer improvements to north-south mobility in the western San Fernando Valley by connecting activity centers along the corridor and connecting the Metro Orange Line with Metrolink.

The construction of the Metro Orange Line Extension will offer faster travel times, improved bus connections, and provide better access to destinations throughout LA County.

  • A four-mile northern extension of the Metro Orange Line, extending from the Canoga Station to the Chatsworth Metrolink Station

  • Four new stations to be located at Sherman Way, Roscoe Blvd., Nordhoff St. and the Chatsworth Metrolink Station. New platforms to be added at Canoga Station

  • New bikeway and pedestrian path that will run parallel to the dedicated busway

  • Landscaping similar to that on the existing Metro Orange Line

  • New park and ride lot at Sherman Way Station

  • Additional parking at Chatsworth Station

  • Overcrossing of Lassen St. and the railroad tracks on an elevated bridge
