West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor Project

Document Description: Note: Extended Review Per Lead The project is a proposed LRT line that would extend approx 20 miles from Downtown LA through southeast LA County, traversing densely populated, low-income and heavily transit-dependent communities. The project would provide reliable, fixed guideway transit service that would increase mobility and connectivity for historically underserved, transit-dependent communities; reduce travel times on transportation networks; and accommodate substantial future employment and population growth. The project will analyze multiple potential alignments, including four alignment options in the northern section - Pacific/Alameda, Pacific/Vignes, Alameda, and Alameda/Vignes; the San Pedro Branch located in the central section of the study area; and the Metro-owned ROW located in the southern section of the study area.
