K (Crenshaw) Line Quick History and First Impression: Expo/Crenshaw, Leimert Park, and MLK stations

Hey guys, here's a look at the new Crenshaw K Line in South Los Angeles. This video covers a quick history behind rails on Crenshaw, what it's like riding the train, and it's perceived impact within the South LA neighborhoods. Currently 7 stops are open along the K-Line's 8.5 mile path. It spans through South LA, Downtown Inglewood, and Westchester. The total cost is over $2 billion.

Construction for the K-Line on Crenshaw started in 2014 after being approved by the FTA in 2012. Over the last 8 years, the K Line has spurred development on Crenshaw. This can be seen as both good and bad. Earlier this week I found this interesting article on the LA Times about residents op[inions on Los Angeles Metro's new light rail train on Crenshaw: https://www.latimes.com/california/st...

The K-Line is partially open, and won't fully connect to the LAX people mover and the C (Green) Line until at least 2024.

This video focuses on three of the K Line's stations: Exposition and Crenshaw station, Leimert Park Station, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Station.
