Expo Line Corridor

The Expo Line begins in downtown Los Angeles (sharing the existing Blue Line track), also serving Staples Center and the Convention Center and connecting to the rest of L.A.'s rail network.

It will continue south on Flower Street, passing L.A. Trade Tech College, to Exposition Park's rose garden, and museums — and the University of Southern California.

Here is the Coliseum during the 1984 Olympics. Its future may include the 2016 Olympics or a new NFL team.

Farther west along the Exposition right-of-way are the West Angeles Cathedral at Crenshaw Boulevard. Light rail will bring better transit and needed new development to this area, and provide residents increased access to jobs and schools downtown and on the Westside.

Culver City's restored downtown and studios are the beginning of the the media-technology corridor along Exposition through West Los Angeles and Santa Monica.

This is the likely aerial station location at Bundy, right next to the West Los Angeles business corridor along Olympic Blvd.

Santa Monica's Water Garden and Universal Music are just across Olympic Boulevard, Yahoo Center is a block north, and St. John's Hospital is two blocks farther. Resulting commute traffic backs up severely from the freeway on Cloverfield.

There should be another station at about 17th and Olympic, where a crosstown shuttle would serve Santa Monica College (most students commute into the city) to the south and UCLA Hospital to the north.

Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade and many downtown jobs are within walking distance of Exposition’s proposed terminus station at 4th and Colorado.

Santa Monica Beach is the busiest in California, with over 400,000 visitors on a peak summer day.
