Abstract:The locally preferred rail rapid transit project is an 18.6 mile subway including 18 stations. Known locally as the Metro Rail Project, it would run from Union Station through downtown, west along the Wilshire Corridor, and then north through the Fairfax community and West Hollywood. The line would proceed eastward to serve Hollywood and continue through the Cahuenga Pass to the San Fernando Valley, where station locations are proposed at Universal City and North Hollywood. A No Project Alternative, an 8.8 mile "Minimum Operable Segment," and the proposed subway with a 2.6 mile aerial segment in the San Fernando Valley have also been defined and evaluated. The project traverses the Los Angeles Regional Core, the densest area of the Southern California metropolitan region. The project would provide much needed transit capacity and substantially reduce travel times through and within the Regional Core. The primary impact areas identified in this Final EIS include transportation, land use, socioeconomic, and historic resource preservation. Other impact areas include air quality, noise and vibration, energy, and construction activity impacts. The Final EIS includes revisions to the Draft EIS; a summary of the comments and recommendations received on the Draft EIS; a list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIS; and responses to substantive comments raised in the review and consultation process. All references in this Final EIS to "EIS/EIR" should be read as EIS. Changes to the test of the Draft EIS are indicated in this Final EIS by a dashed vertical line in the margin.
