Overview
Metro is proposing a northern extension of the successful Metro Orange Line service. Metro has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) that studies various alternatives that would connect the Metro Orange Line Canoga Station with the Chatsworth Metrolink Station (and a possible on-street extension to the SR-118 Freeway).

- Support land use and development goals by making the corridor’s land uses accessible by transit, pedestrians and bicycles
- Maximize community input by incorporating community-generated ideas and solutions into the project
- Create a project that is compatible with and enhances the physical environment
- Is cost-effective and affordable
- Minimizes impacts on the community
