LA Metro to hold meeting for Westside Subway Extension Project

Written by jrood

February 14, 2001 The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) invited the public to a special community meeting on May 18 to hear an update on the proposed alignments linking the potential Century City and Westwood/UCLA stations being examined as part of the Westside Subway Extension Project environmental study now under review.

Since the station
information meetings held in late 2009, Metro has further refined station and
alignment details as part of its work on the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement/Report.

Metro anticipates
releasing the Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Report for public comment in
summer 2010. The agency’s Board will consider staff recommendations in the
fall.

In another story, Metro
Blue Line passengers will experience travel delays of up to 40 minutes beginning
Friday night, May 7, due to construction of the Expo light rail line, which
will connect with the Metro Blue Line in downtown Los Angeles. Special Metro
Bus service will parallel the train route during the construction work. Work
will begin at 9 p.m. on Friday and continue until Monday morning, May 10. Metro
expects to have the Metro Blue Line service restored by Monday before rush
hours between Washington and 7th St/Metro Center Stations.

The Expo Line is a new 8.5-mile
light rail line under construction from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City. It
will share tracks and two stations with the Metro Blue Line along the Flower
Street portion of the alignment.
