![]() ![]() The study area is broken up into north and south portions, with the south being studied for new projects and the north being studied to integrate upgrades with existing transit, mainly Metro’s Foothill L Line. Image: San Gabriel Council of Governments Routes outside of the study area would be realized in partnership with other agencies. While funds to build the project will only be invested within the study area, some concepts have routes that go outside of the study area. A summary of all proposed transit options for the SGV Transit Feasibility Study. Metro then allocated $1.5 million toward the feasibility study, expected to determine how to spend $635 million in Measures M funds that had been set aside for the SGV L Line extension, but could shift to other SGV transit projects. The Metro Board chose the Washington Boulevard alignment, removing anticipated light rail from the SGV sub-region. The San Gabriel Valley mass transit study follows the cancelation of the Interstate 60 alternative for the Eastside L Line extension. Initial shorter term bus investments could, in the longer term, be upgraded to BRT or rail. The technical analysis shows that, compared to rail and BRT alternatives, bus investment would be the most cost effective and add the most number of miles. ![]() The study alternatives were discussed at yesterday’s SGVCOG’s planning directors’ technical advisory committee.”Staff will be looking at bus-type solutions for the short term,” said Brent Ogden, staff from Kimley-Horn, the consultant hired to conduct the technical analysis of the study. ![]() The modes being considered include a rapid bus that runs in mixed traffic lanes, express bus, bus rapid transit (BRT), light rail, and commuter rail. Civic Center Station, Sierra Madre Villa Station, Monrovia Station, Azusa Downtown Station and Whittier. Their end points vary more widely, with some locations starting in Maravilla Station, East L.A. The majority end in Pomona, with four ending in downtown Pomona, one at the Pomona North Metrolink station, and one at the Monrovia Station. The San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments released maps of 15 possible mass transit routes through the San Gabriel Valley.Įight east-west routes are proposed, with the majority of them starting at the Atlantic L Line (formerly Gold Line) Station and heading east. ![]()
