What is the schedule for the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor study/project?
The Metro Board received the draft environmental impact statement/report in December 2009 and adopted the 8.5 mile Light Rail line extending from the Exposition Line currently under construction to the Metro Green Line Aviation station as the Locally Preferred Alternative. They also directed that we complete the Final Environmental document and associated engineering, continue the analysis of three additional design options and identify and environmentally clear maintenance facility sites. The Final EIS/EIR is scheduled for completion and release to the public for review in late 2010. It is anticipated that our Board will certify the environmental document and adopt the project in winter 2011. Following the Notice of Determination from our Board, a Record of Decision from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will occur later in 2011. The Long Range Transportation Plan (adopted in October 2009) shows the Crenshaw/LAX Corridor with a planned completion date of 2018.
