Glendale Beeline 2007 Restructuring Proposal

(The maps on this page come from a November, 2006 report to the Glendale City Council.)

Glendale proposed a restructuring of its service for implementation in 2007 which thus far has not come to pass, with the exception of their replacement for Metro Line 201 service in Glenoaks Canyon, Route 13.

The proposed changes consist primarily of breaking and recombining route segments.

Routes 1 and 2 are proposed to be unlinked, with service on Brand Blvd. through the downtown business district operated as "The Buzz". Service on Brand south of Colorado St. would be operated by an extension of Route 3. Central Ave. service would be primarily provided by new Route 10, although The Buzz would also operate on Central south of Colorado.

.

Route 3 is proposed to operate between Glendale Community College, through downtown, and then via Brand Blvd. to Glendale Metrolink Station. Service to North Glendale, La Crescenta and La Cañada Flintridge would be provided by new Route 8.

.

Route 4 is proposed to be converted into a two-way loop, extending the existing route via Glendale Ave., San Fernando Rd. and Pacific Ave.

.

New Route 8 is proposed to operate the Route 3 segment in the North Glendale-La Crescenta-La Cañada Flintridge area, then operate via Glendale Ave. to Glendale Metrolink Station.

.

New Route 9 is proposed to replace the eastern half of Route 7 and Route 5 on Pacific Ave.

.

New Route 10 is proposed to replace the western portion of Route 7 and the Central Ave. portion of Routes 1 and 2, connected via Glenoaks Blvd.

.
Route 13 is the number assigned to the Glenoaks Canyon Special Service established in December, 2006. It is proposed to operate as a "route deviation" east of Adventist Medical Center and then continue via Verdugo Rd. and replace Route 6 on Colorado St.


Route 13 was extended to downtown Glendale (but not to the Galleria) via Chevy Chase Dr. - California Ave. - Glendale Ave. - Broadway August 20, 2007. No announcement has been made regarding the proposed modification for route deviation or realignment in downtown Glendale.



In addition, three unnumbered school service lines are proposed to replace Route 5 and Route 7 service to Hoover High School and Route 6 service to Glendale High School.


No changes are proposed for Metrolink Shuttle Routes 11 and 12.

These proposals are described by Glendale transportation planning staff as "resource neutral", indicating that no expansion of operating hours or frequencies is anticipated as a result. There has been no timetable for implementation announced, even though the proposed restructuring was presented to the Glendale City Council in November, 2006.
