Closing a gap to deliver connected active transportation between the Valley, Downtown LA and Long Beach
Metro has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15120–15132. The Draft EIR describes the Proposed Project and alternatives under study and evaluates potential environmental impacts.
During the public review period, from December 18, 2025 through February 2, 2026, the public may review the Draft EIR, submit comments, and participate in virtual and in-person public hearings. The hearings are held following the filing of a Notice of Completion (NOC). To view the Draft EIR by chapter and provide comments, visit Metro’s interactive PlanEngage website. Meeting details are available in the Events section below.
After the review period, the Metro Board is expected to consider a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in a public meeting, with a vote anticipated in fall 2026. Metro will then prepare the Final EIR, respond to public comments, and include a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP).
