Overview
With the SR-710 Study underway, we’re closer than ever to shaping the future of transportation and mobility in your community. After years of gridlock and discussion, two-thirds of Los Angeles County voters approved the passage of Measure R in 2008. As a result, Metro is in a position to address traffic relief and make transportation upgrades throughout Los Angeles County. For decades, the road and highway system that has served as the heart of our County’s transportation lifeline has seen significant impacts stemming from growth and congestion. The San Gabriel Valley, with over 20% of the county's population, is no exception.
At their June 2010 meeting, Metro in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), adopted motions to move forward with the environmental review phase and broaden the search for multi-modal solutions for the State Route 710 (SR-710) study area. You, the community, participated in a series of meetings held in March and April 2011, during scoping, the first step in the project’s environmental review.
What’s next for the SR-710?
The SR-710 Study team will be working with stakeholders in person and online as the environmental review process unfolds. This process involves an education and public involvement program to seek both regional and community-based solutions that are suggested by you, your friends, family, neighbors, and everyone else in your community. A range of ideas could be considered – from maintaining the status quo to considering new infrastructure, to multi-modal approaches. We encourage you to regularly visit this website and our social media channels, which will evolve to offer more information on how you can make your voice heard. Help us spread the word!

Upcoming Meetings
Open House
Join Us for a SR-710 Study Open House!
Open House Materials - May 2012
Metro and Caltrans, as part of the ongoing Alternative Analysis phase of the SR-710 Study, are hosting a series of Open Houses in May 2012. This study team is evaluating options to improve mobility and relieve congestion within the study area.
Learn about the multi-modal alternative concepts under evaluation in the SR-710 Study process, including, but not limited to, “no build” alternative, improvements to local streets, expansion of transit systems, as well as freeway options.
Come anytime during the meeting hours. Information at all the open houses will be the same. The open houses are designed to provide one-on-one dialogue with the study team. This is a learning environment in which community members may engage at their own pace and in the subject matter that interests them most. The alternative concepts and other study process information will be available for viewing on large interactive boards staffed by multi-disciplinary team members. (Please note that these forums are not public hearings, and there will be no formal presentation.)

Community Liaison Council
Interested in joining a Community Liaison Council (CLC)?
We are currently in the process of forming CLCs in various communities to support the SR-710 Environmental Study team in providing feedback on the technical study and overall outreach efforts. CLCs will play an important role in the project development process. Each CLC will be comprised of stakeholders within a specific study-area community. The CLCs may include local residents, business owners, community-based organizations, chambers of commerce, environmental groups, institutions, major employers, among others.
Community Liaison Council Roles and Responsibilities
- As a CLC participant, you will act as a liaison between the study team and your community by:
- Sharing updates with others
- Providing feedback to the study team
- Helping shape improvements proposed for the study area
- Gathering feedback received from others in your community
- Recommending outreach activities and making suggestions to enhance the public participation program
The success of each CLC depends on active participation! To that end, CLC participants should make every effort to attend CLC meetings consistently and to provide continuity in moving the dialogue on the SR-710 Environmental Study forward.
If you choose to participate in a CLC, please sign up today using the sign up form below and a member of the SR-710 Outreach Team will contact you with information specific to your designated CLC.
Thank you for your commitment to improving transportation in our region!
