CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / LOS ANGELES
The existing rail right-of-way through West Los Angeles would attract more riders to the Expo Line and cost less, according to a new environmental study released Wednesday on the proposed light-rail project between Culver City and Santa Monica.
The study looked at two routes through the area -- one using the right-of-way and the other using Venice and Sepulveda boulevards.
The right-of-way cuts through residential neighborhoods, and some homeowners have expressed concerns over both the safety and traffic effects of putting the commuter rail line at street level in that area.
Expo Line Construction Authority officials will declare which route they would like to build after the public has the chance to offer input on the study.
The report can be found at the Expo Line authority’s website at www.buildexpo.org.
