I agree. Instead of focusing so much on a county-wide system, we should channel our efforts into bringing rail lines to places where the people would actually use them. This is why I think we could use a municipal transit agency to develop rail lines in LA's core area. I'd like to reference my Santa Monica and Beverly Line proposals, which are based on the premise of needing a denser network in the core urban area:

Not necessary. It's only two blocks east of Flower Street, where the Blue Line runs.
See Broadway streetcar project.
See Westside Extension.
This could be a northern extension of the Crenshaw Corridor.
This could also be a northern extension of the Crenshaw Corridor.
Already a subway down Vermont north of Wilshire. An extension farther south is planned.
Necessary, IMO, but Wright would argue that it's too close to Vermont.
I agree. Instead of this being a branch of Crenshaw, extend it east along Pico to DTLA where it would then run along Broadway or Main to serve South Park, Fashion District, Historic Core, Toy District, and Civic Center.
By Wright Concept
Um, yeah.
Too close to Wilshire. Maybe a BRT?
See Westside Extension. Also, the Silver Line proposal could be extended down Santa Monica and connect with the Westside Extension.
Too close to Santa Monica.
Only the Sunset Strip. I'm having a hard time seeing how it could work. Maybe a line up San Vicente and then up Sunset?
Already served.
Too close to Wilshire.
See the Pico/Venice route I was talking about.
