Rail connection plans
With three light-rail lines making their way across the city, officials are now looking at plans to link them through a future 1.6-mile rail in downtown Los Angeles. Sue Doyle in the Daily News.
"The more light rail you create, the more you have to connect," said Diego Cardoso, Metro executive officer of countywide planning and development. "Otherwise you face a gridlock of trains coming to downtown Los Angeles."
Commuters can review Metro's plans for a Gold, Blue and Expo line connector at two public meetings this week. After reviewing public comment, Metro staff will make a recommendation on the line this summer to its board.
