The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board of Directors has unanimously voted to award a contract for environmental analysis and advanced conceptual engineering for the proposed Crenshaw/LAX Northern Extension rail line, which will bring Metro rail service to West Hollywood. The vote signifies a critical step in getting the project read for construction and eligible for funding.
“Today’s unanimous Metro Board vote means that the City of West Hollywood is one step closer to realizing our vision to #FinishTheLine and bring Metro rail service to our city and to connect the region,” said City of West Hollywood Mayor Lindsey Horvath. “This important milestone builds on years of progress, advocacy, and community support for more transit opportunities. The Crenshaw Northern Extension will provide critical north-south connections and enhance the existing Metro regional rail network, which is a win not only for West Hollywood–it’s also a win for the entire metropolitan region.”
