Meeting_Body REGULAR BOARD MEETING JUNE 26, 2025 Preamble Motion by: DIRECTORS HORVATH AND BUTTS Evaluating Public-Private Partnership Opportunities for the K Line Northern Extension Motion For over 15 years, Metro has consistently documented the clear need for a North-South rail line in the Central Los Angeles area to address high travel demand and alleviate congestion (Wilshire/La Brea LRT Extension Feasibility Study and Westside Subway Extension Alternatives Analysis, 2009).
