Feb. 2016: Operation Shovel Ready Get projects ready for construction if funding becomes available

Five Measure M passed - priority locations for grade separations Fulton/Burbank, Woodman/Oxnard, Van Nuys, Sepulveda, & Reseda

Grade Separation Analysis and Operational Improvements Technical Study Analyze and define grade separation alternatives at priority locations Identify and analyze minor streets for closures Identify and analyze operational improvements to enhance existing bus

service and operations (i.e. Transit Signal Priority, limited stop service, traffic signal operations)

Develop construction staging and operating plans to maintain operations for buses during construction, and mobility and access for bicyclists and pedestrians during and after construction

Proposed Service Option A

Create new Reseda Shortline- Revenue hour savings will be used to implement the proposed circulator.

New circulator would serve additional stops.

Frequency will be approximately 8 min during peaks and 15 min off-peak.

Timed connections at Canoga Orange Line Station to reduce wait times.
