Overview
Metro has completed the Alternatives Analysis (AA) study that evaluates potential alternatives for the second phase of the Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension currently under construction. The goal of the proposed study is to improve mobility in the corridor by connecting to communities further east of Los Angeles. Communities in the study area in include the cities of Bell, Commerce, Downey, El Monte, Industry, Los Angeles, Montebello, Monterey Park, Pico Rivera, Rosemead, Santa Fe Springs, South El Monte, Whittier and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County.
For this Alternatives Analysis (AA), Metro is recommending the advancement of four light rail transit (LRT) alternatives into the Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/DEIR) for further technical and environmental review. The four light rail alternatives are: SR-60, Beverly, Beverly/Whittier and Washington. In addition to these alternatives, Metro will also study a No Build Alternative and a Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Alternative (i.e., service improvements to existing bus lines) in the DEIS/DEIR.
