Fourth District Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn announced Tuesday that Metro will reschedule the planned closure of two Blue Line stations originally scheduled to take place this weekend. Hahn asked Metro to reconsider the timing of the maintenance, concerned that the closures would interfere with transportation to and from Long Beach Pride this Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20, according to her office.
“I want to thank Metro for reconsidering their plans to close Blue Line stations this weekend,” Hahn said. “Long Beach Pride is one of the biggest events of the year, and thousands of people from across the County will rely on the Blue Line to get to and from the festivities.”
Until Tuesday morning, Metro had planned to do track maintenance requiring the closure of the Willowbrook/Rosa Parks and Compton stations starting Friday, May 18 at 9pm and continuing through Monday, May 21 at 4am.
“If you are heading to Pride this weekend, skip the hassle of parking, leave your car at home and take Metro,” Hahn said. “Stay safe, have fun, and I will see you at Pride!”
Hahn and her staff will participate in this weekend’s parade, according to her office.
