Overview
Location: Gateway Cities
Phase: Environmental Review
Type: Better Transit
Forecasted Opening: 2035
Metro has a plan to make it easier to get around, including dozens of projects to improve transit in LA County. Among these is the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project, an approximately 9-mile extension of the Metro E Line further east from its current terminus at Pomona Bl and Atlantic Bl in East Los Angeles. The project was formerly known as the Metro L Line (Gold). With the opening of the Regional Connector, the former L Line between Little Tokyo/Arts District Station and Atlantic Station became part of the Metro E Line
Status
The Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is now available for public review
The Metro Board selected Alternative 3: Initial Operating Segment (IOS) to Greenwood Station as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in December 2022. Since then, the project team has been advancing the environmental review process for the entire 9-mile alignment and the LPA and engaging with stakeholders throughout the project corridor cities. Metro has prepared the Final EIR for the Project, which is now available for public review. This document describes and evaluates the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) and the complete project alignment. The Final EIR includes public comments received on the Draft EIR, circulated for public review and comment from June through August 2022, and responses to those comments.
