About frigging time. And yeah to what the Advice Goddess says: make that train come all the way to the beach! Go whole hog! Give us a straight shot from Venice to Downtown, then get rolling on a line from the Valley down to Long Beach! Jebus, just follow the 405! And use more exclamation points in your reports!

Doesn't Venice Boulevard seem like a natural path for the train to downtown? ALL of Venice Boulevard?

That's great, and all...but they couldn't find it within themselves to stretch those tracks a few miles further down the road to, say, Venice and Lincoln? By the time I drive all the way from Venice Blvd and Abbot Kinney to Robertson and Venice Blvd, I'm going to keep driving downtown, not suddenly hop on a train. If I could catch a train from Lincoln and Venice to downtown, I'd be downtown a lot more often.
