Long-waiting San Fernando Valley finally sees groundbreaking for its first rail line since 2000, dubbed ESFV.
Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins, LA City Council President Paul Krekorian and Mayor Eric Garcetti share a moment as officials hold a groundbreaking for advanced utility work on the first segment of the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project on Van Nuys Boulevard on Friday, December 2, 2022 in Van Nuys. The rail line is expected to be completed between 2028-2030.
In 2020, the Red Line opened in NoHo and fundamentally changed that once low-key Valley community. Since then the Valley has grown from a population of 1.69 million to 1.86 million, and if it were a city it would be the fifth largest in the U.S. Earlier this week, Krekorian said that of the roughly 100 rail stations in L.A. County, only two are in the San Fernando Valley. “The San Fernando Valley has long felt left behind by this agency,” he said of LA Metro.
