- The North Hollywood–Pasadena Transit Corridor is a proposed 18-mile (29 km) bus rapid transit line in the Metro Busway network in Los Angeles, California. It is planned to operate between Pasadena and the North Hollywood Metro Station in the San Fernando Valley where it will connect with the Metro B Line on the Metro Rail system and the G Line Metro Busway. The project completed its scoping phase in 2019, was approved by the Metro board on April 28, 2022 and is estimated to be completed by 2024. It is part of Metro's Twenty-eight by '28 initiative. No current Metro Rail conversion plans are scheduled, although the city of Glendale is proposing a street car service in their downtown, connecting the region with "last mile/first mile" service. The east to west/west to east route will have signal priority at traffic lights and will have exclusive lanes for most of the route. Metro reports the cost is $448 million. Metro received comments it would have to accommodate the annual Rose Parade route on Colorado boulevard. Metro reports it would carry 18,000 yearly riders by 2035. Destinations along the route include Old Pasadena, The Paseo, and Pasadena City College and Americana at Brand outdoor mall. It would also connect with Warner Bros. Studios, Walt Disney Studios, The Burbank Studios, Downtown Burbank Station and Universal Studios. In November 2020, Metro launched the details of the route, its stops, where the lanes reside, and whether or not they are exclusive or in mixed traffic. Public comments were open until December 10, 2020. In April 2022, Metro approved the Environmental Impact Report for the line, but was later sued in July 2022 as the meeting where the EIR was approved violated California's Ralph M. Brown Act, and may result in the approval being voided. (en)
