This Week in Livable Streets

Metro Eastside A Line extension meeting today, Merced Greenway ride, Metro budget meeting, and more.

• Monday 2/3 – Concluding today, Metro will host the last in the latest series of community input meetings on its plans to extend the E Line eastward to Montebello, then Whittier. The project is called the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2. Meeting will take place  from 12-1 p.m. virtually via Zoom.
• Tuesday 2/4 – Metro will host a 6 p.m. virtual town hall meeting on the agency’s 2025-26 budget. While it’s good to push for livability priorities in the Metro budget, past annual budget theater meetings are generally not a constructive setting welcoming actual meaningful budget input.

• Wednesday 2/5 – Get construction updates for Metro D Line subway sections 1, 2, and 3 at a 12 p.m. virtual meeting. Details at Metro event page.
• Thursday 2/6 – Metro’s Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) will meet from 6-8 p.m. in the Metro Boardroom at One Gateway Plaza, behind Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Details at Metro event page.
