Project: Orange Line BRT
Summary
Previous to a 4-mile northern extension, the Orange Line ran for 14.5 miles, almost exclusively in old railroad right-of-way, which was originally purchased in 1991 by LA Metro with the intention to develop light rail or subway that would connect to the Red Line in North Hollywood. The 14 original stations are located across a wide range of residential and commercial land use densities.
