The Crenshaw/LAX Line is an under construction mass-transit light rail line project to construct a new 〔 light rail line through southwest Los Angeles. The line will run generally north-south and will connect the Crenshaw District and Leimert Park to Inglewood and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The line will be a part of the Los Angeles County Metro Rail System. When completed, it will run from Jefferson Park in the north to El Segundo in the south with a projected ridership of 16,000. Also, the Metro Green Line will use a portion of the corridor near LAX for its northern extension. The project is being planned by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). The project has been given high priority by Metro in its long-range plan,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Long Range Transportation Plan )〕 and has funding set aside in Measure R.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Measure R )〕 The Final EIR was certified on 22 September 2011. FTA approval to build the $1.766 billion〔 light rail line was given in January 2012. Metro began pre-construction in July 2012, and a Notice To Proceed was issued by Metro in September 2013. An official ground-breaking ceremony for the project was held on January 21, 2014. Heavy construction began in June 2014 and initial revenue service projected to begin by 2019. ==Future service== When completed, the Crenshaw Corridor project will result in a new light-rail service, currently referred to in official planning documents as the Metro Crenshaw/LAX Line. This line will operate between Crenshaw/Expo in the north and possibly Redondo Beach in the south. North of Imperial, it will run exclusively on track from the Crenshaw Corridor project; if the line runs south of Imperial, it will share existing track with the Metro Green Line. In addition, the Metro Green Line will begin a new service pattern to the north, connecting Norwalk to the new Aviation/Century station. This new "northern extension" of the Green Line will allow for faster connections to both the Crenshaw Line and the future people mover, Airport Metro Connector. In 2015, Metro proposed a plan to realign Metro Rail service to accommodate the opening of the Crenshaw/LAX Line and the Regional Connector, and in the process to change the designation of Metro Rail lines from colors and names to letters with a secondary color identifier. Under the tentative plans, upon the opening of the Crenshaw/LAX Line project, Line K, colored grey on maps, would provide service between Crenshaw/Expo and Redondo Beach, and Line L, colored pink on maps, would provide service between Norwalk and Aviation/Century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crenshaw/LAX Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
