Between March 20-25, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) held four public meetings at various locations within the Crenshaw-Prairie Transit Corridor Study Area. They updated the public on their preliminary decision based upon feedback and comments during the scoping period in October 2007.
The MTA has proposed to use Light Rail Transit (LRT) technology on a preferred route from Aviation Blvd along the Harbor Subdivision RR and connecting north along Crenshaw Blvd to Exposition Blvd where it will meet with the Expo Line. Further studies will examine potential connections along Wilshire Blvd and other alternative routes through Inglewood.
To find out more on the decision, you can read several published articles or visit the MTA website.

Working with the community, decision-makers, CRA/LA and other City of Los Angeles departments and agencies, we will work to facilitate a broad range of dialogue, ideas and discussion that leads to a vision and concept plan for Crenshaw Boulevard between the I-10 Freeway to the north and Martin Luther King Boulevard to the south.
Our goal is to work with the community to create a concept plan that catalyzes action by individuals, city departments and decision-makers to further ensure a great future for Crenshaw Boulevard and surrounding neighborhoods. Key to this effort will be an examination of the opportunities created by the introduction of a new light rail station stop at the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard with Exposition Boulevard.
During the course of developing the concept plan we will explore urban design, streetscape, traffic mitigation, development, identity and economic and real estate development concepts, ideas and opportunities and seek to develop an innovative plan that serves to retain and nurture the communities that are shaping the Crenshaw District’s present and future.
Please contribute your ideas and concepts to this website and to this process to help shape the outcomes. We look forward to working and creating a Crenshaw Vision and Concept Plan with all of you!
