On Friday the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is releasing the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Report for the Regional Connector Project for a 30-day public review period.
The Regional Connector, a Measure R transportation project, is a proposed fully underground light rail line that will connect the Metro Gold Line to the Metro Blue Line and soon-to-open Expo Line. The Final EIS/EIR contains recommendations for the nearly 2-mile alignment and three station locations. The report also includes recommendations for environmental mitigations for the project.
The Metro Board is expected to consider the report recommendations at its February 23, 2012 board meeting. Pending funding approval, construction could begin in 2013.
