San Fernando Valley’s First Light Rail | Los Angeles News
Description
LA Metro’s $2.43 billion light-rail project is set to transform the East San Fernando Valley, connecting Van Nuys to Pacoima with six-and-a-half miles of track and 11 new stations—including Panorama Mall and Arleta High School—offering faster transit for communities that rely on buses, especially immigrant populations without cars. Construction, already underway since late last year on busy Van Nuys Blvd., includes utility relocation, double tracks, and a maintenance facility, aiming for completion by December 2031. Backed by $1.5 billion in federal and $600 million in state funding, the line will run every 7-10 minutes during peak hours, easing congestion while boosting mobility across the region.
