Metro Crenshaw / LAX line update
Metro began constructing the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project in 2014. Walsh Shea Corridor Constructors has not yet reached a sufficient level of systems testing.  The forecast will include five to six months of equipment testing and training of Metro operations and maintenance staff project is set for fall but pushed back till 2023 with everything going on but most likely hopefully this Summer if everything is planned out.

The LA Metro system is connecting major cities together for the los Angeles 2028 olympics as well as bringing the old History of transportation trains back to life , known as the Old Pacific electric. The old yellow cars . However if you look closely to the maps you can follow the old routes of the train tracks that are now used for the union or metrolink routes, some of the routes are now used by homes or major areas of freeway or lastly cover with streets / bike paths. ill go in more detail later. I will be selling my photo prints soon as ive photographed most of my exploration.
------- Metro Regional connector
Metro is building the "missing link" in downtown LA with The Regional Connector Transit Project. This project will include three new rail stations and extend from Little Tokyo/Arts District Station to the 7th Street/Metro Center Station, to serve downtown LA and providing riders a more seamless journey to and through the downtown core LA. This project makes it easier to ride across LA County as passengers will be able to travel between Azusa and Long Beach, and between East Los Angeles and Santa Monica, without transferring lines. It will improve connections, bringing together the Metro L (Gold), A (Blue), E (Expo), B (Red) and D (Purple) Lines at the 7th Street/Metro Center Station, and increases opportunities to jobs, education and essential services.
It's called the L line now, following a Metro initiative to change all line names to letters. But don't get too used to that name either. ... But the L Line won't stay the L line for too long. After Metro's Regional Connector project finishes in 2022, the line will split into either the A Line or the E Line. metro approved.
----Metro division 20 yard project
Metro's plan for better rail service on the Metro B Line (Red) and D Line (Purple), includes upgrading our Division 20 rail yard. We are widening a rail tunnel south of the US-101 (Hollywood) Freeway, building a new turnback facility and readjusting rail storage tracks.

union station remodel
https://la.curbed.com/2019/6/27/18761442/link-union-station-metro-los-angeles
A major overhaul of Los Angeles's historic Union Station is moving forward-without a glassy, airport-like concourse proposed by Metro officials in 2017.

The transit agency's Board of Directors this morning finalized environmental review of the Link Union Station project, which will upgrade the 80-year-old station with new "run-through" tracks over the 101 freeway. That should reduce the amount of time trains spend idling at the station, allowing more rail cars to pass through each day.

More trains means more passengers, and Metro officials estimate that the number of travelers using the station will nearly double by 2040. To accommodate that increase, Metro plans to expand the already crowded passageway beneath the station's rail yard, which connects to Amtrak and Metrolink trains, along with the subway and a bus plaza.

If California's long-planned high-speed rail project goes as planned, bullet train passengers would add to those crowds.

Two years ago, Metro proposed a flashy new concourse that would stretch out above the tracks, giving passengers some nice skyline views. Agency officials even found that the project would have lower up-front costs than a new concourse at ground level. #losangeles state historic parklos angeles metro rail#metrorail #regional connector nippon sharyo p865metro red linemetro purple linemetrorail systemmetro c line greenmetro crenshaw/lax line LAMTA downtown Los Angeles
