The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (LA Metro) board last week advanced several major capital projects. The ones involving rail include the Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project, Crenshaw Northern Extension, Purple Line Extension and High Desert Intercity Rail Corridor Service Development Plan.
For the Sepulveda Transit Corridor, the board approved a $48.3 million contract with HNTB Corp., Terry A. Hayes Associates Inc. and AECOM Technical Services to perform the environmental studies and complete advanced conceptual engineering. The project — which calls for building a high-speed, high-capacity transit line connecting the San Fernando Valley, Westside and LAX — will undergo an environmental review in 2021.
