Light Rail for Cheviot is Cheviot Hills Homeowners advocating use of the existing “Exposition Right of Way” south of Northvale Road at the edge of our neighborhood

4. WILL THERE BE PARKING AT THE STATIONS? Won’t people be driving through Cheviot Hills to “park and ride”?

There are two types of stations for Expo: Gateway and Neighborhood.

Gateway Stations. Gateway Stations are stations located near major destinations along the alignment. These stations anticipate high boardings, have a great deal of parking, and may include extensive pedestrian linkages within the station vicinity to major destinations nearby. Gateway Stations are visible to and from major destinations. These stations may present opportunities for air rights development over the station. Robertson & Venice – a gateway to Culver City, Century City and Beverly Hills – will be a Gateway Station. Robertson is.

Neighborhood Stations. Neighborhood Stations are smaller scaled stations located in smaller neighborhoods along the alignment. There is little if any parking at such stations. Air rights development over Neighborhood Stations and Guideway is generally not anticipated. This will preserve existing views and open space around the station. Pedestrian linkages would typically include enhancements to a station site area. Bicycle parking is also common.

(Based on Phase 1, Final EIR/EIS 2.4-33. See Design Concepts for Phase 1.)

The parking lots The Construction Authority proposes in preparation of its Draft EIR/S – north and south of the Expo line west of Overland – threaten the Greenway Concept and they require much further study.

the kind of station that is proposed should be influenced by neighborhood input. Contact the Construction Authority and Metro Decision Makers.
