After years of outreach and technical work, the Metro Board of Directors is approaching a key decision on the final route/locally preferred alternative for the project. The proposed San Vicente-Fairfax route will serve all the major destinations and job centers in Mid City Los Angeles, West Hollywood, and Hollywood.

The City of West Hollywood joined Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, Third District, the All on Board Coalition, and the West Hollywood Advocates for Metro Rail (WHAM) to invite community members, advocates, and stakeholders to a community rally and news conference in support of the San Vicente-Fairfax Route for Metro’s K Line Northern Extension light rail project on Thursday, February 12 at 8 a.m. at West Hollywood Park.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to connect West Hollywood with the rest of the region. The K Line North will allow you to catch a flight at LAX, watch a game at a regional stadium, shop at the Grove, or celebrate in the Rainbow District in West Hollywood. The route will provide an easy commute for those who work in the Miracle Mile or at Cedars-Sinai Hospital,” said City of West Hollywood Mayor John Heilman. The San Vicente-Fairfax route will add 110,000 jobs withing a half-mile of the new Metro stations with connections to four other rail lines and 6 out of the 10 busiest Metro bus lines.

The final route decision is expected to go to the Metro Board of Directors in the coming weeks.
