The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) is preparing a draft environmental impact report for proposed capacity and service improvements on the Antelope Valley commuter-rail line between Lancaster and downtown Los Angeles.
LA Metro anticipates the 76.6-mile Antelope Valley Line (AVL) corridor will experience strong population and employment growth over the next 20 years, according to LA Metro’s AVL project website.
To support that growth, the agency is proposing service frequency and reliability improvements, including expansion of the existing Lancaster rail yard, adding a new center platform at Lancaster Station and constructing double track between West Avenue and Jackman Street.
LA Metro will host a virtual public meeting to share details on the proposed improvements on Oct. 15 and 17.
