Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project -- Overview
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2018
- Metro is conducting a Feasibility Study to identify and evaluate a range of high-capacity rail transit alternatives between the San Fernando Valley and LAX, including connections to existing and planned Metro bus and rail lines (Orange, Purple and
Expo Lines).

What ever happens - DO NOT BUILD THE MONORAIL.
The CZcamsr nandert does a thorough job at explaining why the heavy rail link is a much better option.
Please don't choose a monorail. This needs to be heavy rail.
Just don’t choose the damn monorail alignment
Whatever you do Metro, please, for the love of God, do NOT make this a monorail and go forward with that awful BYD monorail proposal!!!
This project will be a gigantic benefit for the region. If it really does go from the Valley to LAX, connecting to 4/5 east-west transit options (Orange, Purple, Expo, Crenshaw/Green) then it will fundamentally change the utility of the LA rail system. Even if it just makes it down to the Expo line at first, it will still be great. So exciting!
I want my life back. Build this thing ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate this project being made! We really need a lot more subways for our city.
I dont know why this is not metro number one project... with 9.5 billion dollars this needs to be built
Coming soon.... In the year 2065. :(
You don't have to convince us! Just get the shovels out already and start working. People have been clamoring for this for ages now and younger people are more willing to use transit. You pretty much have a secured customer base for years to come. I will be shocked if they finally build this line and it isn't a success.
Build it already!
This will change the fabric of mobility in LA.
From my view as an Australian man and Railway Enthusiast here in Melbourne, the proposed Sepulveda Pass Rail Corridor makes a lot of sense here.
Moreover, it would make even more sense if this route was connected in Los Angeles' western suburbs to the future LAX - Torrance Line, once the Norwalk - Aviation/LAX section of the Green Line is re - routed to run to/from the Expo Line along the Crenshaw Line alignment.
As for the issues of buses in LA, if this is of any use to Angelenos, here in Australia, our two biggest cities, Melbourne and Sydney, already have solutions in place.
Here in Melbourne, we have a network of SmartBus Routes that (a) provide "corridor" services connecting with local buses and routes, our large tram network and our train network.
In Sydney, specifically that city's west, there's a network of "corridor" bus routes called "Transitways", that provide "prime bus routes" interconnecting with (a) local bus routes, plus (b) both heavy rail, and Sydney Metro, trains. In both cases, the networks are around a dozen major bus routes, those in Melbourne came about in a few cases by combining a few, shorter distance bus routes into one longer route. In the case in Los Angeles, the same SmartBus Routes concept could be applied by combining some shorter distance Routes into few, but, longer distance Routes. One example, the Orange Line Busway could be continued to/from Pasadena at North Hollywood Interchange. Another, extending the south end of Silver Line Busway from Harbor Gateway, through to both Long Beach, connecting with Blue Line trains, and ultimately to the Metrolink Orange County Line in Anaheim, coincidentally interlinking with the Santa Ana Line in Artesia.
These are just my thoughts, and as I said earlier, the Sepulveda Pass Rail Corridor makes sense 👍👍✔️
The project seems similar to Suburban Rail Loop. But Melbourne is the winner here though as construction already started (just minor works now) and LA is still stuck in planning
today I'm 22 years old, by the time this project is complete ill be 61 years old. God damn
Maybe you should move. We have enough people here.
Please don't mess this up. No on the monorail!!!!
At least you didn’t say it will solve traffic congestion, but it was implied.
A transit option will only absorb the growth in trips.
If we could only take over a few of those damn lanes...
Nice Video . Hope Metro can build something down Sepulveda
By the time rail besides the red line goes to the Fernando valley, half of those people will probably be retired. Let’s hopefully get it done sooner
Great idea!
interesting to follow this and see what happens!
For the love of god DO NOT choose the monorail.
Chop chop - get working on the pre-construction if you haven’t already! You promised the possibility of Public-Private partnership to get westside-valley done by 2028 but you got people that doubt that it will happen. Get working now!
As an outta towner looking in from the outside, since they appear to be committed to building this as heavy metro as opposed to LRT, and it’s meeting with the Purple/D Line, wouldn’t it make sense to make said corridor into a continuous one seat extension of said Purple/D Line as opposed to it requiring a transfer?
With a LRT line built to fill the gaps of the Red/B & Purple/D along perhaps Sunset/Santa Monica and directly connecting the UCLA/Century City area with Hollywood, Dodger Stadium, Chinatown & Union Station?
First phase Van Nuys Metro To Westwood/UCLA Second phase to LAX
"exploring" fuckin' hell...its going to take like 50 years the way these projects are managed.
Don't get your hopes up on traveling by rail to these destinations anytime soon. Completion for the Sepulveda corridor won't be done until 2033-35, if everything goes to plan. An extension to LAX won't be completed until about 2058. Your friends you plan on visiting on the westside probably will have all moved. We might be out of aviation fuel by 2058, so why bother going to the airport. The MTA does things in geologic time. I'll be six feet under before all this is complete. :(
roachtoasties We may have planes that run on cleaner fuel at the time
Los Angeles Twenty-Eight by '28, so it's estimated to be done by 2026.
Regardless I will be almost 100 by the 2050's
Of course, by the time this is complete in the year 2525, we'll all be dead. :(
my thoughts exactly :(
WHAT PROJECT!? YOU DIDN'T SHOW IT! YOU SHOWED US THE EXISTING METRO TRAINS. 😧
I propose, Copy SHONAN MONORAIL line:
m.czcams.com/video/ILPxleZIfXY/video.html
Start terminus Topham/Oxnard Reseda Orange line station. South down Reseda blvd to Caballero creek. Vear over golf course between tract housing (even better tunnel under from Cabellero creek/Reseda emerging T intersection Alonzo fireroad/Mulholand) following canyon just west of Alonzo street fireroad. Clear over mountains over Murphy ranch emerging Sunset and Will Rogers gatehouse road. Along Sunset to Chautequa to PCH. PCH to along Ocean connecting Dowtown Santa Monica Expo Line station. Expo line station to LAX INTO THE TERMINAL!!! Not 4 miles away!!! Then on to Aviation LAX Greenline station for Maroon line terminus. THANK YOU.
The multi-billion dollar addition of HOV lanes during a 4 year(?) project on the 405 only resulted in more traffic and more congestion, as predicted. It reduced average travel time - for about three weeks. We’d made forward progress on resolving this choke point if the money had been spent on a transit solution through Sepulveda Pass. The idea that we keep throwing money at highways to solve traffic problems is so illogical and wasteful. In the meantime pollution and frustration mount to intolerable levels. Caltrans is not playing a constructive role in solving access, transit nor environmental problems. We need radical reforms at the state level to bring the full force of the state to developing responsible transit projects efficiently and economically.
Convert those lanes to rail!
No monorail please. This city needs heavy rail :)
Possible completion date around 2055. I will be dead before then.
Los Angeles Twenty-Eight by '28, so it's estimated to be done by 2026.
Why are you reading my channel name? According to the lametro website, the extension to lax from the west side should be opened 2057-2059. From the valley to the west side by 2033-35. There ain't no way la metro opens anything on time. The Crenshaw line and regional connector are delayed even longer. So the sepulveda project is not going to be opened in 2026. I can guarantee you that. Even if construction for the sepulveda project is started very soon. There will be problems. Don't buy into what metro says about early completion. It's delusional to think by 2026 completion and opening
First, it was expected to be done by 2033 not 2055, but it literally says right here it's accelerated to be done by 2028.
media.metro.net/projects_studies/resources/images/att_a_28x28_list.pdf
Why are you reading my channel name? Lol are you smoking? The Crenshaw line was suppose to open last year and now open next year. There aren't no way in fucking hell they are building and finishing that by 2028. There will be setbacks.
I was so hyped to see this transit line but then I saw "scheduled to open by 2057" I'm gonna be an old shit by then and the people in this video will be dead
That is if Metro relies only on funds from the Measure M movement that just passed. Generally, they tend to get federal funding to speed up the process. Metro knows how to get federal funding almost every time, and if they use federal funding, this will be done in about a decade (2026-2028). You’ll probably be able to enjoy this while you’re still young.
It’s likely that will happen because Metro is expanding rapidly for the 2028 Olympics. They are getting federal funding for everything, like the Olympic Village, 100 new skyscrapers for LA, and yes, the Metro. We could see subways running under the pass by 2028.
Those “2057” are meant to be for the worst case scenario, likely it’ll be faster
We will be dead by the time this thing is done
Why was elon musks plans shut down!!!!?!?!?!?
NIMBY tw*ts... Typical story...
Man I made the mistake to uber home from LAX once (van nuys). Almost 2 hours later and 80 dollars less in my bank account I was ready to shoot myself.
Flyaway, my guy. Flyaway.
@@jflow08 lol
@@favoritemoneymakers take the flyaway next time. Way cheaper.
they wanted a train in the 405 freeway what happen with the expansion of the 405 they did nothing what a waste of taxpayers money!
Brentwood Homeowner's Association
STEAL Those extra lanes back and run the trains down them! That's what I say!
@@amarrao95 Typical NIMBY tw*ts... Much like the Beverly Hills School Board...
If you make the highway bigger people use it more.
This is going to take 30 years and we're going to have flying cars by then
I hope we're ready for congestion in the skies then lol
HURRY we are 50 yrs behind every other big city across the USA... Major cities have trains to go major airports and follow freeway routes it's not rocket science, it's just common sense.
Monorail would work 👍
NOOO
Yeah. chose the monorail, and the project will turn 180 degrees. ↩️
BYD will destroy this project, they are corrupt in all areas, check Nandert’s video on it, DO NOT CHOOSE MONORAIL I swear to god
What ruins the Metro Bus/Rail Ride are homeless people riding the bus making trouble, smoking pot, drinking alcohol and vandalizing. Metro should ban these homeless people from riding their Metro system. Most of them don't pay the fare anyway..
There's always one of this type of comment on these videos.
