Work is due to start as early as March 2025 for short -term improvements, which will put the scene for a bus line for Avenue Vermont, the subway reported this week.
The transit corridor in Vermont, which runs approximately 12 miles from Vermont Avenue between Hollywood Boulevard in Los Feliz and the 120th street in a non -en -corded Athens, sees approximately 36,000 transit trips daily. This makes it the most busy bus route in the subway network.

Plans to upgrade the corridor with the bus infrastructure of the bus from the bus infrastructure date until 2016, when the voters of Los Angeles County approved project funding through Measure M. The final design for the project, which is labeled “undermine“Calls for the possible implementation of side lanes for end to end along the full corridor for use by metro and local bus lines.
However, this plan remains a few years since fruit. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Ministry of Transport will begin early work on the project by converting peak hours to draw Vermont sail between sunset and Wilshir boulevards into bus priority sails. This process should take approximately six months.

Construction will happen on weekdays from 9:00 to 15:00 and 19:00 to 7am, then on Saturday from 8am to 6pm. The new bus lanes will also extend or change the hours of Vermont’s parking limitations as follows:
- Existing 16:00 – 19:00 Parking restrictions on weekdays on Vermont Avenue (between sunset and Wilshire) will move to 3:00 – 7:00 pmS
- Areas that are currently limited by 7:00 – 9:00 am on weekdays will be extended to 7:00 – 10:00 amS
- Location without existing morning restrictions will have new 7:00 – 10:00 am Parking restrictions on weekdays.
Additional bus lanes will be introduced separately for Vermont’s road between Gage Street in South Los Angeles and the Vermont/Athens Linear Station in the average of the I-105 highway. The full BRT project will connect these two segments by 2028 before the Olympics.

Metro expects the special sails will increase Vermont’s riding to 66,000 day passengers, more than 12,000 of which would be new daily riders on the subway system. In addition, the project will reduce the bus by bus from 70 minutes to 53 minutes.
These high riding numbers can suggest a railway instead of a bus. Metro also looked at the horizon with metro plans or lightweight corridor rail, carrying up to 144,000 day passengers. However, funding for such an endeavor will not be available until 2067.
