The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has scheduled an additional scoping meeting on Thursday, November 5, 2020, to accept both written and oral comments on the scope of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Antelope Valley Line Improvements Project.
In addition, Metro has extended the deadline to receive public comments on the scope of the DEIR through Monday, November 16, 2020. Metro has released an Updated Notice of Preparation (NOP) to reflect these recent changes.
At the meeting the public will learn how proposed Antelope Valley Line capital improvements could improve service frequency between Los Angeles Union Station and Santa Clarita Valley up to 30 minutes and up to 60 minutes to the end of line in Lancaster, and will also provide a more reliable commuter rail service to meet mobility needs of residents, employees, and visitors throughout the region.
The three key capital improvements proposed along the AVL corridor in the cities of Santa Clarita, Los Angeles and Lancaster that will facilitate the proposed service increases will be discussed.
