The Lead
Regional transit officials are coming to town tonight for an open house on the upcoming North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit project. The 19-mile zero-emission bus corridor will connect 22 stations across five cities, with groundbreaking already underway in Pasadena and local construction expected to follow shortly. Tonight’s meeting gives residents an opportunity to examine proposed station locations, typical construction hours, and anticipated traffic, parking, and pedestrian detours. Project managers will be on hand to answer questions about how crews will maintain access to nearby businesses. The open house runs from 6:00 to 7:30 PM at the Adult Recreation Center at 201 East Colorado Street, with free parking provided. Staff will publish detailed construction schedules online following tonight's public session.
