[2] Metro is currently working on the initial environmental study of a corridor extension of the K Line from its Redondo Beach terminus toward the southeast.
The extension would roughly follow the Harbor Subdivision right of way into the South Bay, to the proposed Torrance Regional Transit Center (RTC).
Metro staff recommended the two alternatives for the draft environmental impact statement (DEIR) status for further analysis and refinement in September 2018.
The Council of Governments (COG) has played a crucial role in these developments, with a notable motion passed regarding the project's alignment and support.
After releasing an Draft Environmental Impact Review (EIR) of the project on January 27, 2023, 66% of the comments prefer extending the C Line using the Metro ROW option.
[15] A motion was passed for the Council of Governments to remain neutral on the specific alignment of the C Line Extension while showing overall support for the project's continuation to Torrance.
This decision reflects a collective agreement among various city representatives, indicating a strong regional backing for enhancing public transportation options.
