Southeast Gateway Line (previously West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor)
Overview
Metro’s plan for better transit includes a new light rail transit (LRT) line to southeast LA County. This project will connect Artesia, Cerritos, Bellflower, Paramount, Downey, South Gate, Cudahy, Bell, Huntington Park, Vernon, unincorporated Florence-Firestone and downtown Los Angeles. Connecting this area to Metro’s rail network will provide alternatives to driving and create more access to opportunity.
Status
- 14.5 miles of new light rail connecting from Slauson/A Line Station in the City of Los Angeles/Florence-Firestone unincorporated area of LA County to its southern terminus at the Pioneer Station located in the City of Artesia
- 9 SGL stations, and a new C Line infill station at the I-105 Freeway
- 5 parking facilities (4 surface parking lots and 1 parking garage at Pioneer Station)
- Ancillary facilities and a Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) in the City of Bellflower
- The design option would close 186th Street but keep 187th Street open in the City of Artesia.
Next, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will issue a Record of Decision (ROD) in summer 2024 following the 30-day waiting period that ended on April 29th since the publication of the Final EIS on March 29th.
