Work on DTLA's New Subway Can Continue Despite Lawsuits


Metro may have seen its Measure J rail-line-expediting initiative narrowly fail at the polls, but they did get some good news this week. The Downtown News reports that a judge, responding to two lawsuits against the Downtown Regional Connector project, refused to order a stop to construction on the 1.9-mile subway that will link the Blue, Gold, and Expo lines, allow transfer-less travel from Long Beach to Pasadena and Santa Monica to East LA, and add three new stations.

Details here.

Metro preps DTLA streets for construction of Regional Connector


Starting Friday morning, Metro will begin relocating utilities throughout Downtown in order to make way for construction of the Regional Connector. The Connector project, which will connect the Metro Gold Line, Blue Line and Expo Line, includes laying 1.9 miles of new track and creating three new light-rail stations to create what Metro has dubbed a "one seat ride."

This one's here.

BTW a very poor artist rendering of a station. Note the signs above the platforms say East Los Angeles <--> Santa Monica over one platform and Montclair <--> Long Beach over the other. These signs would be quite confusing had they really existed. One platform will serve trains to Montclair and East Los Angeles, and the other will serve trains to Santa Monica and Long Beach.

U.S. to provide $670 million for downtown light-rail link

At a Little Tokyo ceremony, county transportation officials accepted the pledge of money for a 1.9-mile, $1.4-billion underground link between unconnected light-rail lines that skirt opposite ends of downtown, one near Union Station and the other near Staples Center. When the Downtown Regional Connector opens in 2020, officials say, passengers will be able to travel across the county on single trains, eliminating two transfers and $3 a trip in extra fares.
