METRO can move forward with engineering activities as publication of final environmental impact statement and approval of a record of decision are eminent.
The University Corridor is an 11.3-mi double-track, 19-station, LRT line. Implementation of the line is projected to improve public transit travel among commuters along Richmond Avenue. The line is projected to generate 49,000 boardings per day by 2030.
