The Only Source Dedicated to the News of Leimert Park
According to Damien Netwon of LAstreetsblog.com, the Metro Board approved a stop at Crenshaw and Vernon next to Leimert Park and Crenshaw Mall.
But the LA Times points out that no extra money was allocatied- only that it would be included in the bid. So whether the train stops at Leimert Park Village depends on money, of course.
The stop will cost a reported $148 million for the $1.7 billion line that will one day run from Wilshire to LAX down Crenshaw.
But the board did not approve undergounding the line through the area.
