Metro Universal Site Visit

To promote clarity and understanding of the issues surrounding the proposed Metro Universal project on Lankershim Boulevard, Councilmember LaBonge met with Metro officials at the site on Monday.
The Councilmember wanted to be clear about why he is opposing the project, as it is now proposed.
"I can't support it because it's too tall, too dense and would create too many negative impacts on the community," Councilmember LaBonge said.
The Councilmember drove the local streets with Metro CEO Art Leahy; the agency's Chief of Real Property Management & Development Roger Moliere and Executive Director for Highway Programs Doug Failing.
The 1.47 million square-foot Metro Universal project, planned for 3875 N. Lankershim Boulevard, would include over 600,000 square feet of office space, a hotel, media production facilities, retail space, residential units and parking for more than 3,000 vehicles.
Councilmember LaBonge is concerned about the traffic it would generate on already overtaxed freeways and streets, among other things.
