Metro is asking residents to share their ideas during the upcoming informational meetings for a proposed rapid bus line in the north end of the Valley.

The 18-mile North San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Project aims to add a bus line that would eventually connect the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys.

Metro officials have touted the project as a fast and affordable line that will use electric buses running run along dedicated lanes and offer frequent service and limited stops.

It got $180-million in funding from Los Angeles County Measure M sales tax measure approved by county voters in 2016.

But critics fear the line would attract transit-oriented development, create massive traffic jams and send cars from major roadways onto residential streets. Some are concerned their home values would decrease because of the project.

Metro’s board of directors planned is expected to discuss the project in September.

Meanwhile, the meetings will take place:

At 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, at Laurel Hall School, Cafeteria, 11919 Oxnard St. in North Hollywood. Limited parking is available.

At 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 10, at Plaza Del Valle Community Room, 8160 Van Nuys Blvd. in Panorama City. Limited parking is available. The meeting will be conducted primarily in Spanish with English translation.
