Phase 2 Extension


Phase 1 to Culver City - 8.6 miles

Phase 2 to Santa Monica- 6-7 miles*

Total 14.5-15.5 miles

*Route is one mile longer via Venice/Sepulveda alternative routing.

Phase 2 Length


ROW Acquisition 1990-1991

Initial Feasibility Studies 1992-1993

Major Investment Study 1999-2000

Draft EIS/EIR 2000-2001

Phase 2 Background


The Re-Evaluation/Major Investment Study (1999-2000) screened a large number of alternatives for the Mid-City/Westside Corridor. Alternatives along the Exposition Corridor included TSM (Rapid Bus), BRT and LRT predominantly following the abandoned Exposition railroad right-of-way.

Major Investment Study


• Evaluated LRT and BRT in Both Expo and Wilshire Corridors

• Metro Board Adopted a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for Expo which Extended from Downtown LA to Culver City only

• Expo Segment from Culver City to Santa Monica was Deferred
