[marmar]

The Proposed Project for the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor Project was approved by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (L.A. Metro) Board of Directors.

The $267-million, 18-mile project aims to build a high-quality BRT line that will connect the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, traveling east-west between the North Hollywood Metro B (Red)/G (Orange) Line Station and Pasadena City College with stops in North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock and Pasadena.

The board approved L.A. Metro staff’s recommendations, which included refinements in Burbank, Glendale and Eagle Rock. In Eagle Rock, the proposed project includes dedicated, primarily center-running bus lanes on Colorado Boulevard with two design options east of Eagle Rock Boulevard.

One of those options, which incorporates several elements from a community-developed BRT concept for Colorado Boulevard, would convert a travel lane in each direction into a dedicated bus lane, while the other would convert portions of the landscaped median and street parking to a bus lane while preserving existing travel lanes. .............(more)
