Metro Pursues Public Opinion on Improving Public Transit to LAX
Sighs, "psshs" and "pffts" are among just some of the common sounds made and heard when the topic of public transportation enters conversation. While the city is tackling some major transit construction projects, including greenifying such ventures, the road ahead is long and steep (and we will likely need to drive). Even making the trek to LAX deems a heavy feat for some, depending on location. But Metro is examining ways to ease our troubled traveling minds.
Identifying different options for growing the Metro Rail system to LAX is the focus of the study, which encompasses a "four square mile area bounded by La Cienega Blvd on the east, Manchester Ave to the north, Imperial Highway to the south and the LAX airport terminals on the west."
Alternatives currently proposed include Light Rail Transit (LRT), Automated People Mover (APM) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Metro is analyzing these options in order to narrow down alternative choices before advancing them to the environmental review phase.
L.A.'s vision for improved service transit appears high on Metro's priority list, and they're hosting three community workshops on August 23, August 25 and August 30.
Strap on those thinking caps (or refer to your journal for various rant entries) on how a better connection to LAX might:
*Reduce traffic congestion and improve transportation options to and from the airport*Best serve airport users and local employees
*Provide travelers with the level of transportation they expect when visiting a world-class city
