On April 7, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) held its monthly “Lunch with Us” webinar to update stakeholders on happenings regarding the Metro D Line, formerly known as the Purple Line Extension subway project. At the meeting, panelists from Metro provided information on both the Wilshire/La Cienega and Wilshire/Rodeo station excavation and hauling, geotechnical instrumentation, station construction, appendage updates, the Spring bus card and more. Metro also announced a new partner in the Beverly Wilshire pop-up restaurant THEBlvd, now participating in “Eat, Shop, Play,” a business mitigation program that aims to bring attention to local businesses affected by Metro construction.
The Metro D Line will have two stops in Beverly Hills: Wilshire/La Cienega, expected to be complete in 2024, and a Wilshire/Rodeo station in 2025.
