It seems the Santa Monica Blvd. alginment will connect with La Cienega to Wilshire (and perhaps in the future to points South). If you are interested in a Santa Monica Blvd. subway, then come join the Facebook and MySpace pages for the Friends of the Pink Line: www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=11096618173 groups.myspace.com/thepinkline It is more likely that the Sepulveda Pass would be reached via a rail project between Sylmar and LAX, separate from the Purple Line.

mharwitt, that was one of the original options back in the Winter. it would take 14 minutes from NoHo to Century City, but would skip the Hollywood/Highland station between Universal City and whatever the WeHo station would be: http://www.laist.com/2008/02/01/14_minutes_from.php But that option is off the table, so now the remaining options include a transfer point before going down Santa Monica Bvd. or some variation: http://laist.com/2008/05/08/elevated_not_th.php

what would make more sense would be to route it along santa monica blvd and then divert it to the valley at sepulveda, eventually having it meet the orange line. the blue bus system could pick up for anyone wanting to head further west.
