Missing from article is the very major issue of Beverly Hills HS attempts to keep the line from being dug under the school, citing environmental impact issues (ironic, considering the school has a working oil well on the property and only 15 years before tried to get an environment impact over-ruled to increase production and therefore their subsidy from it). They have so far lost every lawsuit but it is delaying the project and could jeopardize the Century City station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.171.227.39 (talk) 03:38, 27 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Information related to the Metro Red and Purple Lines has been redistributed among three articles, as follows:

• The article Red Line (Los Angeles Metro) describes the current service known as the Red Line. This article also discusses the history of the project historically known as "the Red Line", which built the subway corridors now used by the Red Line and Purple Line services. Finally, this article also lists possible future extensions of the Red Line route.

• The article Westside Subway Extension (Los Angeles Metro) describes the history of and plans for the future subway corridor west of Western Avenue.

• The article Purple Line (Los Angeles Metro) describes the current service known as the Purple Line.

The Red and Purple line articles were in serious disrepair and included inaccuracies, speculation and redundancy. Hopefully the newer, clearer distribution of information will help prevent this from happening again.

I am trying to standardize the format of Los Angeles Metro (LACMTA) project articles. The format is helpful to readers and editors, because it follows the lifecycle of a typical infrastructure project, and allows the article to grow organically as the project progresses.

The format consists of five sections, as follows:

Section name	Topics
Background	Discusses the motivation/objective/purpose of the project. Also discusses the history of early work to get the project going. Should include major milestones through Major Investment Study (MIS), Alternatives Analysis (AA) and Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).
Environmental review process	Describes the history of environmental review, and the alternatives studied in the DEIR/FEIR. May also list some or all of the alternatives considered in the AA. Should list all alternatives studied in the DEIR.
Selected alternative (after LPA selected)	Describes the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in detail, plus any design options being carried forward for further study.
Other considerations	Discusses project funding, planned service, and any other important issues affecting the design and implementation of the project.
Construction phase (after construction began)	Discusses the history of construction, from groundbreaking through revenue service.

Is there any chance the Purple Line could be extended to Santa Monica as part of the 30/10 project? If not, when do they expect that segment to open?108.23.147.17 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:36, 21 April 2012 (UTC).Reply

I can see there is some mention about the project and the hopes it will be complete in time for the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics. I think this section could be expanded to further discuss the project in relation to the Olympic Games. Feel free to discuss! --WRCosA (talk) 22:29, 3 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi all! I'm planning on changing how Wikipedia covers the history and future of the various Metro lines, moving some material out of the articles for individual lines and to articles specifically about history and expansion. I've put a longish description of my plans and rationale here, if you're interested! --Jfruh (talk) 19:48, 20 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

I can't find any information about this project and don't believe this is the case. Please provide a source for this if you have one. --Jfruh (talk) 20:40, 10 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

This source confirms the completion dates and has not been changed: https://www.metro.net/projects/westside/

But this source here has different dates, but this source is a blog, so this may very well be a misprint: https://thesource.metro.net/d-line-subway-extension-section-1-update-ninety-eight-percent-finished-and-counting/

Unless the official page for the D line changes it’s dates, we should leave the dates as is until we see the official page for the D line change the dates. --NevadaExpert (talk) 13:49, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
