noho to pasadena transit corridor
Next stop: a new way to ride between NoHo and Pasadena.
fall 2019
OverviewThe North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (NoHo to Pasadena BRT) extends approximately 18 miles and is a key regional connection between the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys with connections to the Metro Red, Orange and Gold Lines, as well as Metrolink and other municipal bus lines. The NoHo to Pasadena BRT Project will provide a premium east-west transit service to link key activity centers and improve access to jobs, education, essential services and the regional transit system.
A new link between the ValleysThis corridor has been identified as one of the most heavily traveled without a premium bus service. The project will help meet the growing demand for transit service between the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys and make transit more accessible, inclusive and responsive to the needs of the diverse communities it will serve.
The NoHo to Pasadena BRT Corridor:
> Runs parallel to the Ventura Freeway and includes the cities of Los Angeles (North Hollywood and Eagle Rock communities), Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena.
> Has more than 700,000 daily trips within the study area.> Has a dense residential population with many cultural,
entertainment, shopping and employment areas, including the North Hollywood Arts District, Burbank Media District and Entertainment Studios, Glendale Galleria, Americana at Brand, Eagle Rock Plaza, Occidental College, Old Pasadena and Pasadena City College.
The NoHo to Pasadena BRT will also connect to the future North San Fernando Valley BRT, another Measure M project currently in the planning and environmental phase that would take you from North Hollywood to Chatsworth, through the communities of Panorama City, North Hills and Northridge.
Measure M and SB 1 provide $267 million for the North Hollywood to Pasadena BRT, which has an anticipated opening date in 2024.
Bus Rapid TransitBus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a high-quality transit service that provides faster, more reliable and convenient service through the implementation of several key attributes, including:
> Enhanced stations with passenger amenities, such as real-time arrival/departure information
> Dedicated bus lanes> Off-board fare collection and/or all-door boarding> Frequent service
> Limited stops> Transit signal priority giving buses more green time> Metro-branded vehicles and stations
BRT is designed to rival the speed, capacity and comfort of the best rail lines. BRT can reduce the number of cars on the road and idling in traffic. Combined with more efficient operations, BRT can also improve air quality with the use of electric zero emission vehicles.
BRT helps avoid some of the normal delays typically experienced by regular transit service that travels in mixed-flow traffic. BRT also has the potential to increase transit access, improve regional mobility, ease commute times and invest in local communities.
Project DescriptionThe Draft EIR will analyze the proposed project, which includes various route options. The proposed project primarily runs along surface streets with some segments running along State Route 134 in mixed-flow freeway lanes. The proposed project will traverse North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock and Pasadena in the following manner:
north hollywoodWithin North Hollywood, the proposed project begins/ends at the North Hollywood Metro Red/Orange Line Station. From the station, there are two different route options being considered:
1. Via Lankershim Bl; or2. Via Vineland Av.
Both routes would then continue onto the SR-134 at Riverside Dr.
burbankWithin Burbank, the BRT would exit the SR-134 to serve the Burbank Media District before continuing along Olive Av to Glenoaks Bl.
glendaleWithin Glendale, the BRT operates along Glenoaks Bl, before continuing via three different potential routes:
1. At Central Av, the BRT could merge onto the SR-134 and continue east toward Eagle Rock; or
2. Via Central Av to Broadway; or3. Via Central Av to Colorado St.
Both Broadway and Colorado St are being considered for east-west travel within Glendale as each option provides connections to different key destinations within the city, including the Glendale Galleria, The Americana at Brand and the new Armenian American Museum.
eagle rockThe BRT would serve the community of Eagle Rock via one of two potential routes:
1. Along Colorado Bl before merging onto the SR-134 at Linda Rosa Av; or
2. Operate along the SR-134 with potential stops at Harvey Dr and Figueroa Bl to serve the community before merging back onto the freeway heading east.
To the west, either of these two route options could connect to the street or freeway route options in Glendale. To the east, both route options would continue on the SR-134 into Pasadena.
pasadenaWithin Pasadena, various route options are being considered:
1. The BRT could exit the SR-134 at Fair Oaks Av and head south to connect to the Memorial Park Gold Line Station via Raymond Av. It would then continue east on Colorado Bl in mixed-flow lanes to Hill Av at Pasadena City College; or
2. The BRT could also exit the SR-134 at Orange Grove Bl and continue east on Colorado Av in mixed-flow lanes to Hill St at Pasadena City College; or
3. The BRT could operate as a couplet in mixed-flow lanes, with buses traveling east along Green St to Hill Av at Pasadena City College. On the return trip, the BRT would travel west along Union St.
Environmental Impact Report Being DraftedMetro is currently preparing a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the North Hollywood to Pasadena BRT Corridor Project pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Metro is the lead agency for the EIR. The Draft EIR will be prepared in accordance with Sections 15120 through 15132 of the CEQA Guidelines.
The project that is being analyzed as part of the Draft EIR is a proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line that would extend approximately 18 miles from North Hollywood to Pasadena and serve as a regional connection between the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys.
The proposed project could include:
> Dedicated bus lanes in areas where there is adequate existing street width. The configuration of dedicated bus lanes could be:
• curb-running • side-running—alongside existing parking and bicycle
facilities, and/or • median-running—in the center of the roadway
or alongside roadway medians> 18 to 21 potential stations*> Enhanced facilities and features for a premium transit
service, including signal priority and frequent service> Potential First/Last Mile improvements to further enhance
mobility and access to the proposed BRT Project.
continued
* More specific determinations regarding station locations are dependent upon further design development and environmental analysis.

Project ScheduleWe are currently in the environmental review process. There are many steps to this process, including a 60-day public scoping that lasted from June 17, 2019, through August 15, 2019. Through the scoping period, more than 2,500 comments were received that helped shape the project scope and identify environmental issues that should be addressed in the DEIR. As a result of the many comments received regarding an alternate
route option within Eagle Rock, Metro added a State Route 134 option along with a Colorado Bl option. Both options will be studied and evaluated as part of the Draft EIR.
The public will also have other opportunities to provide input as ongoing community involvement is vital throughout the environmental process.
Project design features and mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant impacts during construction and operation will be identified in the Draft EIR.
