Terra Bella Street After Street Configuration Changes

As construction of the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit (ESFV LRT) Project progresses, Metro will construct new Class II bike lanes on Terra Bella St to replace the existing bike lanes along Van Nuys Bl that need to be removed to accommodate the future light rail train. The bike lanes will be constructed along Terra Bella St between Wakefield Av and San Fernando Rd, spanning approximately 2.5 miles, and will include street layout changes to accommodate the project.
