Sepulveda station is a station on the G Line of the Los Angeles Metro Busway system. It is named after nearby Sepulveda Boulevard, which travels north-south and crosses the east-west busway route. The boulevard , in turn, is named for the Sepúlveda family of California. Unique among G Line stations, Sepulveda's platforms are not located at the cross street, but rather about a block west of it. The station is in the Van Nuys neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, in the central San Fernando Valley.{{cite web|url=http://www.metro.net/around/rail/orange-line/|title=Orange Line station information|accessdate=2010-10-02|archive-date=2010-10-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101014040613/http://www.metro.net/around/rail/orange-line/|url-status=dead}}
Property development
Various development proposals have been considered for the excess station parking and adjacent commercial parcels between Sepulveda Boulevard on the east, the transit station on the south, Interstate 405 on the west, and the Victory Park neighborhood to the north. A comprehensive study, including conceptual land usage strategies, was prepared for LA Metro by students of the UCLA Department of Urban Planning in mid-2010.{{Cite web| url=http://164.67.121.27/files/UP/MetroOrangeLineReport2010.pdf | title=Metro Orange Line Sepulveda Station - Transit Oriented Development Capstone Studio | access-date=2013-02-12 | archive-date=2014-10-06 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006172217/http://164.67.121.27/files/UP/MetroOrangeLineReport2010.pdf | url-status=dead}} Subsequently, conceptual development guidelines for the site were prepared by Metro.http://www.metro.net/board/Items/2012/10_October/20121025RBMItem22.pdf {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}
Thus far, a development project including an LA Fitness is built on land formerly housing a Wickes Furniture building. Between December 2011 and February 2012, the former Wickes Furniture building was demolished for this project. By October 2012, the LADWP has put up new wooden and metal power poles along Sepulveda Blvd next to the project. The LA Fitness building was built and opened to the public in March 2013.
During the 2028 Summer Olympics, the station will serve spectators traveling to and from events at the Sepulveda Dam.{{Cite web| title=Governance, legal and venue funding | url=http://la24-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/pdf/LA2024-canditature-part2_english.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161010162747/http://la24-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/pdf/LA2024-canditature-part2_english.pdf | archive-date=2016-10-10}}
Future Development
Initially scheduled for fall 2019 or spring 2020, Metro announced their intent to grade separate the G Line over Sepulveda Boulevard. LADWP installed new power poles for undergrounding the existing power lines at the intersection before the construction of the bridge's framework. These plans were delayed due to lack of funds from Measure M. The grade separation viaduct began preliminary work between Woodman station and Sepulveda in 2025.{{Cite web |last=Los Angeles Metro |date=2025-02-06 |title=Metro G Line Improvements Fact Sheet |url=https://www.metro.net/projects/orangeline/ |access-date=2025-02-06 |website=Metro.net}}
A new transfer to the Sepulveda Transit Corridor is included in four of the five alternatives proposed as part of that project, allowing a transfer connection to the E Line at Expo/Sepulveda station and East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project at Van Nuys station.{{cite news |first=Dave |last=Sotero |title=Contracts for Pre-Development Work on Sepulveda Transit Project approved by Metro Board |url=https://thesource.metro.net/2021/03/25/contracts-for-pre-development-on-sepulveda-transit-project-approved-by-metro-board/ |publisher=The Source |agency=Metro |date=March 25, 2021 |access-date=March 26, 2020}}
