East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project
Proposed light rail line in Los Angeles
The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project (formerly the East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Project) is a transit project constructing a light rail line on the east side of Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley, running on a north–south route along Van Nuys Boulevard.
The project is being planned by Los Angeles Metro and has been given high priority by Metro in its long-range plan, and funding for the project is included in Measure R and Measure M.
The project's timeline was accelerated under the Twenty-eight by '28 initiative.
In June 2018, Metro staff recommended the corridor be built as an at-grade rail line without tunneling, making it a part of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. In December 2020, Metro approved the Final EIR with the option to build the line in two phases. The second phase, which ran along the Metrolink Antelope Valley Line's right of way, would eventually be replaced by a proposed infill interchange station with the latter in December 2025.
On December 2, 2022, Metro officially began advanced utility relocation for the line. The tentative completion date for the first phase of the project is 2031.
Overview
The northern end of the proposed line is Sylmar/San Fernando station, providing a connection to the Metrolink Antelope Valley Line, and the southern end would be the G Line's Van Nuys station. An important intermediary stop would be at the currently existing Van Nuys Metrolink and Amtrak station, where passengers could transfer to the Ventura County Line, Amtrak routes, and the proposed Sepulveda Transit Corridor to the Westside. The Metro staff recommendation included 14 stations for the 9.2-mile (14.8 km) line.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project” as proposed light rail line in Los Angeles. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as proposed light rail line in Los Angeles. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55075530. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2020, 2025 and 2022.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
