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.

Westside subway extension community updates

Purple Line train

Photos by Yours Truly. They can be seen on the MetroRiderLA Flickr pool.

Metro is hosting a series of meetings on what is going on with extension of the Purple Line to somewhere in the Westside, which may or may not be the sea. Note that one of these meetings is going to be in West Hollywood — a corridor far away from Wilshire but with a growing community that would like to see a Pink Line as well.

All meetings are from 6-8 p.m. For information on the project, or to request ADA-related accommodations, call 213-922-6934.

The list of meetings follows the jump. But first, a bonus link to an interesting thought: Putting a subway in L.A. would be like putting a subway in … Paris? This was written by Jarrett Walker, an Australian transit consultant who spent his college years in SoCal.
