Sherman Way is a planned light rail station in the Los Angeles Metro Rail system.[1] The station is part of the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project and planned to open in 2031.[2][3] It is located on Van Nuys Boulevard at the intersection with Sherman Way in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles.

History[edit]

The Pacific Electric San Fernando line reached Van Nuys in 1911. By 1913 North Sherman Way was the junction of the Owensmouth and San Fernando branches and featured a 12-car yard. Services were truncated here in 1938; the stop then served as the line's northern terminus until the route was replaced by bus service in 1952.[4]

Sherman Way is named for entrepreneur and Valley developer Gen. Moses Hazeltine Sherman.[5]
