Pedestrian View Of Los Angeles

This blog focuses on rail lines in LA country that exist, are under construction or under consideration. The Californian high-speed rail project and southern CA to Vegas project will also be covered. Since most of the relevant developments in the news, rail websites and blogosphere take place on weekdays, this blog will be updated primarily Monday through Friday and occasionally on the weekends. Your comments, criticism and suggestions are encouraged. Miscellaneous stuff will also appear here.

I looked through the CD-ROM of supporting documents for the Crenshaw Corridor. They are the electronic versions of the binder photographed at Wednesday’s meeting. The study is more than two reams, coming in at more than 1,100 pages. The file size is 90 megs. The engineering drawings are 138 pages, but are graphically intensive. It would be far too time-consuming to reproduce them here. Sharing them on Google may exhaust the bandwidth limitation of accounts.

You can probably find most of the supporting PDFs on Metro’s project page. You can also go to one of the remaining meetings or request more information from project manager Roderick Diaz. His mail contact information:
