Transportation right-of-way
Document Description
The project would involve transit improvements along Sepulveda Blvd. and/or Van Nuys Blvd. between Ventura Blvd. on the southern end and the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station on the northern end. Two build alternatives, a transportation system management (TSM) alternative, and a no-build alternative are being evaluated. The build alternatives include light rail transit (LRT) and bus rapid transit (BRT). The TSM alternative would upgrade existing bus service in the study area without the high-cost investment in a dedicated right-of-way. The LRT alternative would run 11.2 miles, primarily along Van Nuys Blvd. on a dedicated median guideway. The BRT alternative would operate for 9.4 miles within a dedicated busway and as much as 2.6 miles in mixed-flow traffic along San Fernando Rd. and optionally along Van Nuys Blvd. and Sepulveda Blvd.
