Metro Senior Director Isidro Pánuco announced that the 605 Corridor Improvement Project will have no residential displacements as it will be kept within existing Caltrans right-of-way

Metro had announced corridor-wide 605 Freeway Corridor Improvement Project meetings would take place June-July 2023, but this week pushed them back to Fall-Winter 2023

What's great about La Brea and other bus-only lanes is that they are cheap and quick - but could they be even cheaper and quicker?

In other parts of California, REAP grant funds are building transit-oriented housing, while in L.A. the focus appears to be on reducing (or mostly making plans to reduce) vehicle miles traveled

Half-billion dollar "final" phase will add one more general purpose lane, plus flyover on- and off-ramps, and wider roads leading to the congested confluence of the 57 and 60 Freeways in the east San Gabriel Valley

Metro transit riders can now pay as you go for daily ($5) and weekly ($18) transit passes

Stations, electrical, and other work still underway, but the $1.6 billion 9.1-mile San Gabriel Valley rail line is more than 70 percent finished, and expected to be completed in January 2025

2.1 miles of new bus lanes, and 2.5 miles of conventional bike lanes upgraded to parking-protected... but also a couple of gaps

Karen Bass takes the helm, while Metro tees up bringing policing in-house and widening the 405 Freeway.
