Book Description

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) with the City of Los Angeles as project co-lead has undertaken an Alternatives Analysis (AA) to study the East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor. The project study area extends from Ventura Boulevard on the south, to the City of San Fernando, the Sylmar-San Fernando Metrolink Station and the Lakeview Terrace neighborhood on the north. The study area includes the two major north-south arterial roadways of Sepulveda and Van Nuys Boulevards, spanning 10-12 miles and the major north-west arterial roadway of San Fernando Road and north-east arterial roadway of Brand Boulevard. These roadways and nearby neighborhoods are the focus of the analysis presented within this document. The purpose of this AA is to define, screen, and recommend alternatives to be studied as part of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Report (DEIS/DEIR).
