Metro Orange Line Extension


The Metro Orange Line Extension will extend four miles north from Canoga Station to the Chatsworth Metrolink Station. This dedicated busway will offer improvements to north-south mobility in the western San Fernando Valley by connecting activity centers along the corridor and connecting the Metro Orange Line with Metrolink.

The construction of the Metro Orange Line Extension will offer faster travel times, improved bus connections, and provide better access to destinations throughout LA County.

Metro Orange Line Extension features include:

  • A four mile northern extension of the Metro Orange Line, extending from the Canoga Station to the Chatsworth Metrolink Station

  • Four new stations to be located at Sherman Way, Roscoe Bl, Nordhoff St and the Chatsworth Metrolink Station. New platforms to be added at Canoga Station

  • New bikeway and pedestrian path that will run parallel to the dedicated busway

  • Landscaping similar to that on the existing Metro Orange Line

  • New park and ride lot at Sherman Way Station

  • Additional parking at Chatsworth Station

  • Overcrossing of Lassen St and the railroad tracks on an elevated bridge

  • Forecast to open summer 2012
