Metro's LAX station opens next week. This is a big deal for Southern California transit riders. Let me repeat: the LAX Metro Airport Connector opening is a big deal. I've been seeing some mainstream accounts - especially in the comments - being dismissive of the new station. The main complaint is that the airport people mover - that will connect the Metro station to the airline terminals - will not open until 2026. The people mover is a separate non-Metro project.

Today, the Metro board was supposed to approve a $200 million five-year contract for Lyft to operate Metro Bike Share.

Long Beach recently debuted a new northbound protected bike lane along the front of the newly opened Harbor Yard Apartments. The new four story 194-unit affordable housing broke ground in 2023, and opened earlier this month. The location is 2400-2490 Long Beach Boulevard - extending from Burnett Street to 25th Street. It is located along the A Line tracks, about a quarter mile south of the Metro A Line Willow Street Station. Harbor Yard Apartments are now leasing.

Caltrans and the Riverside County Transportation Commission are planning to expand the capacity of 15 Freeway from Corona through the city of Lake Elsinore. The I-15 Express Lanes Project Southern Extension (ELPSE) would add four to five new lanes to the existing six-lane freeway. Added capacity would include over 60 miles of new toll lanes - two lanes in each direction - plus one additional un-tolled southbound lane through three miles of Lake Elsinore.
