The long-awaited Metro D Line station at Wilshire and La Cienega boulevards opened on May 8, concluding its first full week of service with early successes and a few bumps along the way.
The D Line also expanded to stations at Wilshire Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, and Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, bringing a subway line to the most densely populated corridor west of the Mississippi River. The Wilshire/La Cienega station will serve as an end-of-line station until the line expands west to future stations at Beverly Drive, Century City and Westwood in 2027.
