The May Service Council meetings continue to be held virtually due to the COVID-19 Safer at Home orders.

This month, all Council meetings will get updates on the Station Evaluation Program, Metro’s Public Participation Plan, and their usual regional updates. They’ll also vote on whether to go dark (not meet) in July.

The Service Councils for the Gateway Cities, Westside Central, and South Bay Cities will also hear an overview of the I-405 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan. Last but not least, Gateway Cities will also hear about the Florence Bus Priority Lanes Project.

Here are the dates and times for upcoming Service Council meetings with links to a listing of the current members and a map of the region:

San Fernando Valley: Wednesday, May 4, 6:30 p.m.

San Gabriel Valley: Monday, May 9, 5:00 p.m.

Westside Central: Wednesday, May 11, 6:00 p.m.
