ChineseAddendum to Crenshaw Corridor scoping meeting
The Crenshaw Corridor question comes down to: bus rapid transit, left, or light rail?
Maps by Metro
I looked through the CD-ROM of supporting documents for the Crenshaw Corridor. They are the electronic versions of the binder photographed at Wednesday’s meeting. The study is more than two reams, coming in at more than 1,100 pages. The file size is 90 megs. The engineering drawings are 138 pages, but are graphically intensive. It would be far too time-consuming to reproduce them here. Sharing them on Google may exhaust the bandwidth limitation of accounts.
You can probably find most of the supporting PDFs on Metro’s project page. You can also go to one of the remaining meetings or request more information from project manager Roderick Diaz. His mail contact information:

BRT doesn’t seem to be worth it when you see that north of Expo it is just mixed traffic… which is no different than running a Rapid bus down the road – oh wait, that’s what we have now! So all we would’ve accomplished it paving over the right of way with concrete.
Building it as light rail at least give us system integration with Expo and Green with potential future extension to Wilshire. The Rapid bus can still run in mixed traffic north of Expo until we find the money to dig a tunnel.
You should put them up on Scribd, which has no bandwidth limitations.
Also, with the Harbor Transitway project, light rail seems the way to go. Get it to Expo to start and Phase 2 can get to Wilshire and then Hollywood/Highland.
