 * A new facility will be built in Montebello, bound by Flotilla Street to the north, Yates Avenue to the west, South Vail Avenue to the east, and Washington Boulevard to the south to serve the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project, which extends the E Line to the intersection between Washington Boulevard and South Greenwood Avenue.
