The final phase of planning for the long-anticipated $1 billion light rail line extension from Redondo Beach to Torrance has begun, with Metro scheduled to host two virtual meetings before monthâs end to receive public input on the environmental effect of possible routes for the South Bayâs largest ever regional transit project.
The extension of the C Line, formerly and popularly known as the Green Line, represents the culmination of years of lobbying by the South Bay Cities Council of Governments. That agency, which represents cities in the region, has championed the extension in an area that has long lacked sufficient public transportation to other parts of Los Angeles County â forcing commuters to rely on the Southlandâs freeways.
