The proposed extension of the Expo Line is currently undergoing the environmental planning process. A Draft EIS/EIR is anticipated to be available for public comment in Fall 2008.

Grade Crossing Determinations Community Meeting:

The Expo Phase 2 Team will present an update on the grade crossing determinations for both the Exposition Right-of-way and the Venice/Sepulveda alternatives at an upcoming community meeting (details below). We welcome your questions and input on the proposed Expo Line grade crossings at this important stage in the environmental process.

Project Overview

Phase 2 of the Expo Line project proposes to improve public transit service and mobility in the Exposition Corridor by extending the benefits of Expo Phase 1 (under construction) beyond its currently planned terminus in Culver City to a terminus in Santa Monica. Phase 2 is undergoing the Alternatives Analysis (AA) process and the development of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Initial Screening Results

Following extensive analysis of the nine alternatives that came out of the scoping meetings last March, the Expo Authority has narrowed down the routes and modes that will move forward through the environmental process for further analysis. These include Light Rail Transit (LRT) on the Exposition Right-of-Way (ROW) and LRT on Venice/Sepulveda (then connecting with the ROW). In addition, Transportation Systems Management improvements and a No-Build option will also be evaluated.
