East San Fernando Tender

ScopeThe project is for construction of the light-rail line that will run between the G Line Orange Van Nuys Station and the SylmarSan Fernando Metrolink Station with 14 stations.A key item contained in the boards EIR approval is the option for the line to be built in segments as is typically done for major L.A. Metro rail line construction projects. Building the line in interim operating segments gives L.A. Metro the flexibility to determine the most efficient and cost-effective way to build its projects. Interim operating segments will be included in all future Measure M projects.The project will officially begin major construction in 2022 and is scheduled to open by 2028. When complete the new Valley light-rail line will make it easy to connect between L.A. Metros G Line Metrolink Amtrak and numerous east-west Valley bus lines. Another L.A. Metro project the Sepulveda Transit Corridor proposes to build a high-capacity transit line from Van Nuys across the Sepulveda Pass to the Westside and then beyond to LAX. That project is currently in the planning phase as different routes and financing plans are being studied and developed.
