Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority
Board Meeting
(April 5, 2006) At its March 31st Board Meeting, the Exposition
Metro Line Construction Authority Board approved the assignment and
assumption of the preliminary engineering design services contract
with DMJM-Harris. This contract will provide design support services
during construction of the Exposition Line.
The staff also reported on the implementation of the Urban Design
Committee and nomination process. The Committee will give the
community an opportunity to have input into the aesthetics of the
Exposition Line project.
The Board received a report on the proposed $118 million FY 2007
budget, which includes design-build contractor expenditures, Metro
agency and Exposition Authority costs, utility relocation, real
estate and right-of-way costs, as well as costs of professional
services and third-party review.
The Board also received the monthly report on contracts approved by
the CEO and the quarterly project status.
Exposition Light Rail Line Summary
The Exposition Light Rail line is the newest extension of the 62-station Metro Rail system. The 8.5 mile line runs along the Metro-owned Exposition right-of-way from the existing Metro Rail station at 7th/Metro Center in downtown Los Angeles to Washington/National in Culver City.
The Exposition Light Rail line includes approximately 10 stations. Although the alignment will primarily be at-grade, the project includes aerial stations at La Cienega and La Brea boulevards.
A future second phase would extend the Exposition Light Rail line to the City of Santa Monica.
