Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath (3rd District) and Metro officials gathered in L.A.’s Miracle Mile on April 2 to celebrate the completed tunneling of the Metro Purple Line Extension Project, the long-anticipated subway line expected to boost the region’s transportation network.
Scheduled for completion in 2027, the new subway is projected to carry more than 53,000 weekly riders between the Westside and Downtown, and Bass touted its regional benefits as L.A. prepares to take the world stage during the 2028 Summer Olympics.
