The Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridorproject team is analyzing four sitesalong the proposed Light Rail Transit(LRT) Line for the development of anew maintenance facility.All of the potential maintenance facility sites contain propertythat would need to be acquired and/or facilities that may needto be relocated should that site be chosen.

The operation of a new LRT line will require construction ofa new maintenance facility to store, maintain, repair and cleanlight rail vehicles. These four sites described and pictured tothe right will undergo a detailed environmental review inaccordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Keyissues to be addressed include displacement, relocation,employment changes, tra;c access, noise, and land usepolicies, all of which will be incorporated into a SupplementalDraft Environmental Impact Statement/Recirculated DraftEnvironmental Impact Report (SDEIS/RDEIR). This SDEIS/RDEIR will focus on maintenance facility issues and providean update on potential impacts to parklands and historicresources. The report is scheduled to be available for publicreview and comment by Winter 2011. All potentially a=ectedproperty owners will be notied of the SDEIS/RDEIR releaseand public hearing.

The SDEIS/RDEIR will supplement the Draft EnvironmentalImpact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/DEIR)for the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor, which was releasedfor public comment in September 2009 and received by theMetro Board of Directors in December 2009.
