Public hearing on MTA’s Crenshaw Transit Corridor set for Tuesday, Oct. 6th

The Westchester Neighbors Association will host a public hearing on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Crenshaw Transit Corridor Study at 7 p.m. Tuesday, October 6th at La Tijera United Methodist Church, 7400 Osage Ave., Westchester.

The proposed transit line starts at the Metro station at Imperial Highway and Aviation Boulevard and continues to Crenshaw Boulevard. The overall goal of the proposed project is to improve mobility in the corridor by connecting with existing lines such as the Metro Green Line or approved lines such as the Exposition Light Rail, currently under construction, according to Metro.

The October 6th meeting will focus on issues concerning the Westchester community.

The 45-day environmental impact report (EIR) comment period began September 1st.
