Metro is studying the proposed Northern Extension of the Metro K Line, which would provide new rail connections to, from, and through West Hollywood, including up to three stations in the City.
The City of West Hollywood is complementing that effort by conducting a Rail Integration Study (RIS) to ensure that future rail service is thoughtfully integrated into the City while supporting sustainability goals and community expectations. The current phase of the study focuses on improving multimodal transportation and providing safe routes to and from planned stations to maximize access, ridership, and use of future stations in West Hollywood.
The City has audited a half-mile area around each potential station to explore potential pedestrian and wheeled access improvements. Now, the City is soliciting input from the community through its new Engage WeHo digital engagement tool to confirm those findings and share additional suggestions with the project team. The project team will evaluate community feedback and suggestions to inform a draft first/last mile plan, which will be presented to City advisory boards, commissions, and the City Council. The City will transmit the approved plan to Metro and incorporate it into future updates to the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and other mobility planning documents that guide future infrastructure investments.
The City invites residents, businesses, and frequent visitors to share their feedback and suggestions on Engage WeHo to inform the plan’s development. The survey is open now and will remain open through Wednesday, February 7, 2024. Participants can provide input through an online form on any of the three stations proposed in West Hollywood as well as the Citywide bicycle network. Interactive online maps are also available to allow participants to place suggestions for improvements directly on online maps. While Metro has not yet decided upon how many stations will serve West Hollywood, pedestrian and bicycle improvements identified for any of the proposed station areas may be relevant regardless of the final route Metro selects as the City continually works to improve safety and mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.

When you deem it important enough to add something concrete at the website, you would learn that it asks for specific information on a particular street or sidewalk, that the city doesn’t have, but you think it should have.
This sure sounds like a lot of make-work. It’s really very simple, the pedestrian path (the sidewalk) is sacred, and all we have left. Motors of any kind should be prohibited from the sidewalk and enforcement needs to be a priority……..I know, I know, I’m a genius.
Great to be able to add my input.
Thank you.
want an improvement for pedestrians??? Ban rentals-scooters!!
pedestrians will be 100% safer! End of story! I don’t know why the city makes these websites so convoluted and so complicated when the solution is so simple!
Metro needs to give it up, and no one now has the attention span to “engage” in this convoluted Engage Weho site.
I did. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
My friends an I used to use public transit a lot and thought to use any connection the city would have with Metro rail. We stopped some time back because it is so unsafe and full of trouble. It’s not worth it. Perhaps that will change with new things, but there’s no sign of that now. It just gets worse.
