Is there another way to tunnel?
There was an intriguing discussion on Thursday in the Construction Committee of the Metro Board of Directors involving different tunneling methods that could be used on the Westside Subway Extension and other Metro projects that may require tunneling such as the Downtown Regional Connector, the Crenshaw Line and a 710 tunnel (if that project comes to pass).

More here, including a map of what the connected system will look like.Draft Study for Regional Connector Released
The Regional Connector Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Report officially goes public Friday. While it may not be quite as sexy a project as the Westside Subway Extension that follows a similar Measure R project timeline, it does something the subway project does not: it connects four light rail corridors covering over 80 miles across Los Angeles County through the center of downtown Los Angeles. As a result, light rail commuters should save 10 to 20 minutes per trip.
Connecting the spokes of county's transit system
Note the worry about what to call the Expo Line is only temporary, as it would be paired with the existing East L.A. segment of the Gold Line. The Pasadena Gold Line (and eventual extension to Azusa) would revert to its original name, Blue Line, and be paired with the existing Long Beach Blue Line.

More about this here.The Downtown Regional Connector, a two-mile underground track that transit experts say is the lynchpin to a better-performing regional light-rail system, took a big step forward last month.
Metro’s board of directors on Oct. 28 approved one of four potential routes for final study, initiating the last major planning phase needed before the $1.36 billion project can be built.
