The Metrolink <a href="http://www.metrolinktrains.com/stations/" rel="nofollow">heads north</a>. The Red Line, on the other hand, could continue East from North Hollywood through Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock, and ultimately meet up with the Gold Line in Pasadena. So it's settled.

I also have thought that a subway along Ventura Blvd would be smart. But I also think the Redline should continue directly north, maybe coming above ground at some point, and continuing to the North San Fernando Valley and maybe even continuing up to Santa Clarita, Valencia area.

A friend of mine was looking to ditch his car and take Metrolink into Burbank, but found it would be almost twice the cost of his gas, and he'd still have to bike/drive several miles on each end. Plus it has a much more limited schedule. (If Metrolink lowered prices/increased frequency within LA/Burbank that would be great though.) But more subways/light rail would be awesome since I have to go very close to the Burbank airport every day for work! (And toss in a subway line to Ikea and I'll officially sell my car.)

Even more awesome would be if the Red Line met up there as well. Also, Metrolink is EXPENSIVE! Will, you’re correct that Metrolink does indeed stop at the Bob Hope Airport.

I’d settle for Red Line through BUR and continuing to the Burbank Media Center, but SFV<->SGV would be a dream come true.
