Description |
Located in Southwest Los Angeles, the Crenshaw/Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Transit Corridor Project (the "Project") consists of the construction of an 8.5-mile light rail transit (LRT) line (the "Crenshaw/LAX Line"), including a minimum of six transit stations (with off-street parking), the procurement of a minimum of 20 light rail vehicles, and the construction of a full service maintenance facility. Sponsored by Metro, the Project is being developed in partnership with the Crenshaw Project Corporation (the "Project Corporation"), a State of California nonprofit mutual benefit corporation. The Crenshaw/LAX Line will extend between the Exposition Line (currently under commissioning) at the intersection of Exposition Boulevard and Crenshaw Boulevard and the Metro Green Line near the existing Aviation/LAX Station. It will connect downtown and the Westside region of the City of Los Angeles (via the Exposition Line) with the South Bay region of Los Angeles County. An interim intermodal transit connection to LAX will be constructed at the Aviation/Century Station. The Project will serve the cities of Los Angeles, Inglewood, Hawthorne, and El Segundo and portions of unincorporated Los Angeles County. It will include three park-and-rides, roadway and landscaping improvements, and a maintenance and storage facility. It will also involve utility relocations. |
