description: The Mid-City/Exposition 

Corridor Project is an LRT project that 

will run 8.6 miles from 7th Street/Metro 

Center Station in downtown Los 

Angeles to the intersection of Venice 

and Robertson Boulevards in Culver 

City. The LRT will operate in a dualtrack configuration mainly at-grade on 

existing streets or in a street-median 

right-of-way owned by LACMTA. The 

project includes nine new LRT stations 

and three grade separations: one below 

grade segment at Flower and Figueroa 

Streets; an aerial segment at La Brea 

Avenue; and an aerial segment at La 

Cienega Boulevard, extending over 

Jefferson Boulevard and the Ballona 

Creek to Fay Avenue in Culver City. 

Final Agency Actions: FTA has 

reviewed information provided by 

LACMTA on project enhancements 

proposed since the FTA issued the ROD 

on February 24, 2006. These project 

enhancements include the addition of 

the new University of Southern 

California (USC)/Expo Park station 

adjacent to the U.S.C. campus and Expo 

Park museums near downtown Los 

Angeles, the addition of the new aerial 

Venice/Robertson Station and Structure 

at the eastern terminus in Culver City to 

replace the interim at-grade 

Washington/National Station, and the 

addition of a Storage and Inspection 

facility. The Storage and Inspection 

facility will supplement the planned 

Mid-day Layover facility and replace the 

Operations and Maintenance facility 

that was originally planned to be 

located on property adjacent to the 

existing Metro Division 11 facility in 

Carson, California. The newly added 

USC/Expo Park station and the newly 

added aerial Venice/Robertson Station 

were fully evaluated in the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). 

The Storage and Inspection Facility was 

evaluated pursuant to 23 CFR Section 

771.130(c), and approved in subsequent 

action whereby FTA determined that no 

new or changed significant impacts 

from those evaluated in the Final EIS/ 

EIR would occur. Supporting 

documentation: ROD Addendum signed 

on March 10, 2009 and the Mid-City/ 

Exposition Transit Corridor Light Rail 

Transit Project Final EIS/EIR.
