The Purple Line Extension, formerly known as the Westside Subway Extension, is a new heavy rail subway corridor in Los Angeles County, extending the Metro Purple Line from its current terminus at station to the Westside. Currently under construction, the corridor will become part of the Los Angeles County Metro Rail System.〔 The project is being planned by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). The Westside Subway has been given high priority by Metro in its long range plan,〔 and funding for the project is included in Measure R.〔 The draft environmental impact report (DEIR) was completed in September 2010: a locally preferred alternative (LPA) was selected in October 2010. Metro released the final environmental impact report (FEIR) on March 19, 2012. The project was approved to La Cienega at the Board of Directors meeting on April 26, 2012, with the western leg, including the controversial Century City location, deferred until the next board meeting. The location of the Century City station at Constellation Boulevard was approved by the MTA board of directors on May 24, 2012.〔 〕 Construction on Section 1 of the Purple Line Extension, between the existing Wilshire/Western station and the planned Wilshire/La Cienega station, started on November 11, 2014. ==Overview== Current plans are to extend the line and necessary infrastructure west to Westwood. The following new metro stations will be built: * Wilshire/La Brea (2023) * Wilshire/Fairfax (2023) * Wilshire/La Cienega (2023) * Wilshire/Rodeo (2026) * Century City/Constellation (2026) * Westwood/UCLA (2035) * Westwood/VA Hospital (2035) Funding is being sought to accelerate the project timeline; in particular, officials would like to open last two stations earlier. 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「Purple Line Extension」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
