Removal Action Workplan for Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)/Butterfield Site

Removal Action Workplan for Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)/Butterfield Site

The proposed project addresses the mobility needs within the Westside Subway Extension Transit Corridor by providing faster and more reliable high-capacity public transportation than existing bus services, which operate in mixed-flow traffic. This improvement will bring about a significant increase in east-west capacity within the Corridor by extending the benefits of the existing Metro Red/Metro Purple Line rail services beyond their current termini at Wilshire/Western Station and a combined alternative that would also extended the Metro Red Line at the Hollywood/Highland Station in Los Angeles to the Westside of Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Project length for the Wilshire Boulevard Alignment Heavy Rail (Alternative 1) is 12.5 miles extending from the Metro Purple Line Wilshire/Western Station to 4th Street and Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica and would include 10 stations and 1 optional station. Wilshire/Santa Monica Boulevards Combined HRT Subway (Alternative 11) includes the full Wilshire Boulevard HRT Subway and adds a second line extending west from the Metro Red Line Hollywood/Highland Station via Santa Monica Boulevard to join the Wilshire Line in Beverly Hills. The total combined line is 17 miles long and includes 14 stations and 1 optional station. In addition, any other alternatives identified during scoping meetings that have not previously been evaluated will be addressed in the EIR.
