Ambitious and expensive new bridges will be built along the Metro G Line Bus Route in a six year project to improve public transportation in the San Fernando Valley. About 12,000 riders in black clothes ride the buses every day.
Costs are estimated at nearly $400 million dollars, or the equivalent of four new houses in Bel Air.
At Van Nuys Blvd and at Vesper Av. the bridges will leap over the boulevards with overhead spans. Upon completion (2031) riders will board atop elevated platforms and travel on buses or light rail which will not be impeded or stopped at intersections by vehicular traffic.
Expect a lot of delays and ripped up streets in the next half decade as Los Angeles prepares to build a system that will bring us up to the level of 1975 urban transport.
