So, local-express subway corridors are out of the question? Would they be significantly more expensive?

My intention for the North La Brea Subway sketch is to have both Crenshaw and Venice branches run together between Hollywood and Mid-City to connect with the Red and Purple Lines. Think of the Regional Connector in concept. Venice branch wouldn't have ran through to the Crenshaw branch.
So, you agree with me about the Venice branch feeding into a La Brea trunk?
