@metrolaalerts@MoveLATransit Can you confirm/deny whether LA Times @racheluranga’s reporting of the political reasonings for canceling community meetings on congestion pricing in 2022 were accurate, and if the congestion pricing project is still alive?
LA Metro’s community meetings planned this week for Sepulveda Transit Corridor have been cancelled. According to what Nick Andert is hearing, there is a chance that LA Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins may be trying to cancel the project.

LA Metro announces community meetings in April for Sepulveda line ahead of Draft EIR release. They also launched a “hub” site with renderings and details of options being considered.

@MoveLATransit LA Metro’s Reddit account says that the meetings have been postponed and that Metro needs more time before sharing the Draft EIR.

Comment from @MoveLATransit on Reddit: they say they are also hearing EIR may be delayed or not even released because ridership doesn’t justify the cost.

March 2025 LA Metro presentation on Link Union Station to Vernon stakeholders, focused on BNSF railroad improvements to facilitate project. Many transportation benefits now proposed for Vernon (maybe in response to city’s opposition to project).

Vernon city staff recommend city council oppose LA Metro’s Link Union Station project. It removes Union Station freight storage, offset by Vernon expansions. Staff say it hurts businesses, increases pollution, traffic and emergency response times in city.

Details from winning contractor’s bid for NoHo-Pasadena BRT construction contract. Estimated completion in early 2027, assuming work started in August 2024 (contract was not awarded until December). They propose building 6 segments simultaneously to complete things faster.
@texffurmmer These days they seem to only prepare the reports for projects that have a large amount of federal funding (maybe FTA requires them to do it).
LA Metro’s camera-based bus lane enforcement program on two routes issued 5,500 tickets (total $1.6m in fines) in the first month, an increase from average of 570 tickets issued per month before camera-based enforcement.

April 2025 LA Metro presentation on LA River Path project. Draft EIR coming this year, with board selection of alignment in 2026. Looking at 3 options. At least 46% of path would be elevated (where owners do not make enough land available).

February 2025 update on LA Metro’s LA River path project. Draft EIR soon. Will be used by ~5,900 cyclists/pedestrians. Metro owns less than 1% of land, so they hope city/county will construct, operate and maintain project, with Metro providing funding.
