Future

As part of plans for the future planned Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project, Metro plans to replace the existing at-grade station with a shallow open-air underground station with two side platforms and a canopy. The new station would be located on the south side of the current station, underneath the current triangular parcel of land bound by Atlantic Boulevard, Pomona Boulevard, and Beverly Boulevard. The current parking structure to the northeast of the current station will continue to serve the new station, and the artwork at the current station will be relocated to the new station.{{cite web |title=Final EIR (April 2024) |url=https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/0yhjlp7mj3tlwoy1yele4/ALeSEWqjot1qm-VzsSGnxUo?rlkey=o0fzaxbojfy6i91rtl17ovyx1&e=1&st=gyt5sjx7&dl=0 |website=Dropbox |publisher=Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority |access-date=April 26, 2024}}
