Metro Board Approval Furthers Massive Subway Project

LOS ANGELES-The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority board of directors has recently voted to approve the remaining portion of the $5.6 billion Westside Subway Extension Project, including the final approval of Metro staff recommendations for a Constellation/Avenue of the Stars subway station in Century City.

The L.A. Metro Board has approved four new stations and alignments in Beverly Hills, Century City, Westwood/UCLA, and Westwood/VA, adding the remaining five miles to the approved and certified subway extension project. In April, the board approved only the initial project phase from Wilshire/Western to Wilshire/La Cienega. The entire project will now enter into final design upon approval from the Federal Transit Administration.
