The Exposition Light Rail Transit Line (Expo Line) will travel along the
Exposition railroad right-of-way between downtown Los Angeles and Culver
City. It will share a track and two stations (7th St/Metro Center and Pico)
with the Metro Blue Line as it leaves downtown Los Angeles. It will then
travel along the Exposition right-of-way to the newly approved and funded
aerial station at Venice/Roberston. Nine new stations will be constructed
along the Expo Line route. In addition to the station at Venice/Robertson,
the new stations will be located on Flower at 23rd Street and Jefferson, and
on Exposition Boulevard at Trousdale Parkway, Vermont, Western, Crenshaw, La
Brea, and La Cienega.
The Expo Line will be approximately 8.6 miles in length and parallel the
heavily congested I-10 freeway. It is scheduled to open in the summer of
2010. Estimated travel time from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City is
under 30 minutes with a projected ridership of 27,000 by 2020. The Expo Line
project is considered a “Transit Parkway” that will be enhanced by bike and
pedestrian paths, as well as trees and landscaping along the alignment.
