2023 Update on LA Metro Projects

Описание к видео 2023 Update on LA Metro Projects

Of course, hours before uploading this, there was even MORE news that changes a section but I’m not going to delay the video any further. The G Line Improvements will now apparently cost far more than is earmarked (thanks FTA!) and they are discussing a host of different ways to shave back the project, including nixing the aerial station at Sepulveda (they would build the grade separation, but leave the station where it is), which of course is extremely non-ideal for the Sepulveda Line. We’ll see what happens.

There was also more explicit talk of shifting highway funding specifically to WSAB after 2027, so hey, that’s something!

Also, soon you’ll actually be able to vote on the 12 finalist names (unrevealed still) for WSAB at renamewsab.com

A broad follow-up video on reasons behind rising costs and lengthening timelines of transit projects in the US should come at the end of 2023.

Yell at me on Bluesky or (for awhile longer at least) Twitter: @nickandert on both sites
