Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project

Phase: Environmental Review

Type: Better Transit

The natural barrier created by the Santa Monica Mountains makes traveling between the Valley and the Westside challenging – and will require innovation and multiple solutions. Metro is working to evaluate alternatives for a high-quality, reliable transit service option connecting the San Fernando Valley and the Westside.

Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study Made Available to the Public

Metro’s long-awaited Northridge Metrolink Station Relocation Study was made available to community members at the end of September. The study was based on community input taken last spring at a community meeting, as well as through email and online comments. The study takes no official position, rather it details the various costs, community concerns, and environmental factors that would be involved in either the upgrading of the current station, or in the moving of the current station to the corner of Reseda and Parthenia. Both study alternatives aimed to identify potential opportunities to enhance transit connectivity throughout the community and region. Alternative 1: Station Relocation, relocates the existing Northridge Metrolink Station to the intersection of Reseda Boulevard, Parthenia Street, and the Ventura Line. Alternative 2: Existing Station Enhancements, upgrades the existing Northridge Metrolink Station into a multi-modal transit ...

Sherwood Forest Home Owners Association Works to Make Northridge a Better Place to Live

On January 18th, the Sherwood Forest HOA will hold a stakeholder meeting at the Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy, at which there will be a presentation on the Clean Streets, Clean Starts program, which seeks to find work, counseling and housing for North Valley homeless.

Homeowners and the SFHOA find the need for advocacy in the community more than ever. This increased advocacy has been reflected in ...

Northridge’s Community Sponsors Support Beautification and Homelessness Projects

Much of the good work that has been done in our neighborhood over that last few years has been because of the many volunteer hours donated free of charge. However, volunteer labor often needs materials, money and expertise to make a project smooth running and successful. Currently, two examples of these projects, the new “Northridge Stampede” mural on the Catalina Paint Building at Gresham and Reseda, and our ongoing “Clean Streets, Clean Starts” homeless project, both rely on the generosity of individuals, local businesses and non-profits. The Northridge Beautification Foundation, a 501.c3 nonprofit, has been able to expand their community service projects with a much-needed infusion of money and expertise. In the case of the “Northridge Stampede” mural, currently underway, the overwhelming generosity of the Northridge Sharkey’s, which donated a sizable percentage of their Labor Day Weekend profits, totaling an amazingly generous $3,148 dollar, ...
