More like Subway to Shop! In a perfect world the stops would go like this: Hollywood/Highland Somewhere on Melrose The Grove Beverly Center Rodeo in Beverly Hills Century City Westfield Mall Westwood Bristol Farms Santa Monica Whole Foods Third Street Promenade This will also allow Tom Andrews and I the opportunity to further critique LA's fashions. Bring on the Leg Warmers!

I was at the meeting in Santa Monica last night. I pray to God or somebody that this becomes a reality. It was encouraging to see a room full of people excited about transit. One slightly eccentric young gentleman presented during the public speaking portion a marker drawn dream vision of a complete rail system in L.A., which he has visions of at night. I put in my 2 minutes and stressed how snarled car traffic is by talking about how I beat car travel times from Hollywood to Santa Monica at peak times averaging 19 mph on my bicycle.

"There's no way I'll get on in Hollywood to go to Santa Monica if I have to detour all the way down Vermont" have fun sitting in traffic

I'm pulling for the second option. Having that Westbound connection at Hollywood/Highland will be the dealbreaker for me actually using this thing. There's no way I'll get on in Hollywood to go to Santa Monica if I have to detour all the way down Vermont. If the first option is chosen, I think they'd be losing all the potential westbound riders from North Hollywood/ Hollywood/ W. Hollywood.

I wish I had a magic wand to make this happen right now!

I'll add it into the last slide, but we're looking at 10 years if all goes well :)

this route would seriously eliminate my need for a car...pending the issue of whether i'll still be here in the 40 years it seems like it'll take to build this thing.
