Metro Renaming the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor To Avoid Confusion



Metro announced that it will rename the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor Project – which will bring light rail transit between southeast LA County and downtown Los Angeles – to avoid confusion with the city of Santa Ana, which the new 14.5-mile segment will not reach. The public can submit name recommendations by visiting RenameWSAB.com or calling 213-922-6262.





LA City Council Approves Final Environmental Impact Report For Silver Lake Master Plan



The Los Angeles City Council has voted to adopt the findings of a final environmental impact report for the Silver Lake Reservoir master plan. If funded, the plan would convert about 116 acres of the 127-acre Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoir complex into park space.

Poll Shows Community Support For C Line Extension To Torrance



Residents in Lawndale, Redondo Beach and Torrance support the Metro C Line Expanding to Torrance, according to a poll conducted by a market research firm. Of the 670 residents polled, the survey found that 60% are familiar with the C Line (Green) Extension To Torrance Project and 67% are supportive. About 8% of residents from each city oppose the project and 24% had no opinion.


The project will provide an alternative to congestion along the busy I-405 corridor and expand access to the region by connecting to the existing Metro Rail K (Crenshaw), J (Silver) and A (Blue) Lines.

West Hollywood City Council Moves To Expand Bike Lanes On Fountain, Santa Monica Boulevard



The West Hollywood City Council voted to move forward with a protected bike lane project on Fountain Avenue, along with bike lanes on Santa Monica Boulevard.

“Bike lanes and better modes of transit and infrastructure are critical methods for improving the walks of life of residents, businesses and people who visit here,” Mayor Pro Tempore John Erickson said. “Of course, any type of change is always difficult. But what I’ve seen other cities do and where they fail is they don’t invest the time in the community outreach. We have done that. We have surveyed our residents along that area and over 66% of them supported protected bike lanes on Fountain Avenue.”
