I feel the San Fernando Valley needs a "Union Station of the Valley"
A major transit hub I think at the Van Nuys Amtrak/Metrolink Station. A terminus where many buses, light rail or streetcars will connect the San Fernando Valley, long distance trains, and the Sepulveda pass line will connect it to the westside and LAX. A station simlar to ARTIC in Anaheim.

Im not sure if HRT or LRT will be picked. I dont know what is the projected ridership nor the costs.
I think HRT should get picked because other than Red Line terminus at North Hollywood, this will be the only other major transit line that will ever get built connecting the 2 million valley population to the other side of the hill. Right now I dont think there are a lot of users but in a few decades, when the overall system is built out and a much bigger population in both the valley and the basin, I think this line will be critical moving large amounts of people. I can imagine when it is done, during a summer heatwave,100,000 people will jump on the train and head to Santa monica beach.
