FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Metro to Hold February Public Meetings for Regional Connector Transit Corridor Study

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) will be conducting two public meetings for the agency’s Regional Connector Transit Corridor Project February 26 and 28, 2008.

  • Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008: 6:30 – 8:00 p.m., Japanese American National Museum, 369 E. 1st Street, Los Angeles
  • Thursday, Feb. 28, 2008:  Noon – 1:30 p.m., Los Angeles Central Library, 630 W. 5th Street, Los Angeles

The Project Update Presentation will last approximately 30 minutes, followed by a 60-minute Question and Answer Session for both meetings.

The study analyzes various transit alternatives for the possible connection of the Metro Gold Line, Metro Blue Line and Expo Line through downtown Los Angeles, and considers various transit modes, alignments and station location options for an area that encompasses approximately two square miles of downtown Los Angeles, including the communities of Little Tokyo, the Arts District, the Historic Core, the Toy District, Bunker Hill, the Financial District, the Jewelry District, and the Civic Center.

Metro held two public scoping meetings last November to obtain community input on the scope of the alternatives to be studied in the Alternatives Analysis. Based on feedback from these meetings, Metro has identified some potential alignments and station locations for more detailed technical analysis.

The public is invited to the meetings to receive a status report on the project and to learn about the schedule for future steps.
