President of the Los Angeles City Council Paul Krekorian introduced a motion on March 22, 2023, to request City Council staff to work with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and Metrolink regarding relocating the station to either Sunland BoulevardorVan Nuys Boulevard to better serve local residents, better connect with local bus services, and the addition of a second side platform in conjunction with the planned double-tracking of the line through the area.[7] On May 19, 2023, the City Council approved a report calling for a study regarding the feasibility of the proposed changes.[8]
