Metro seeks input on Union Station improvements The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has released its draft environmental impact report (DEIR) for the Los Angeles Union Station Forecourt and Esplanade Improvement Project.

The DEIR analyzes environmental concerns such as aes- thetics, land use, recreation, transportation and traffic, among other issues. Federal Active Transportation Program grants have been secured for the project. The public comment period runs through Sept. 25. All comments should be submitted to Metro by emailing [email protected] or mailing to Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Elizabeth Carvajal, Metro Senior Manager, LAUS Forecourt and Esplanade Improvements, One Gateway Plaza, Mail Stop: 99-23-4, Los Angeles, CA, 90012-2952.
