Talk:Regional Connector

message: Once the Downtown Connector is completed, will the Gold Line become part of the Blue Line as was orginally planned?
I'd like to see the line from Long Beach to Pasadena be designated "Blue Line" with the Eastside Gold Line connecting to the Expo Line. Is this possible?
:The current Gold Line Eastside extension is a direct continuation of the Gold Line tracks from Pasadena and all plans are to designate the entire route (Azusa to Monterey Park) as the Gold Line.  However, once the Downtown Connector is complete, these tracks will have a connection to Expo and Blue line tracks in Little Tokyo and trains could theoretically switch from one line to another.

message: As has been discussed in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail Discussion Page, we should not be putting fantasy maps up of projects.  It is highly unlikely that LACMTA would be able to fit four tracks on surface streets in downtown Los Angeles and I have not seen any mention in any official document to a four track system being installed.  If I am incorrect acount this, please let me know.  Arturoramos (talk) 08:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: No Fantasy Maps Please

message: I have moved this article.  The former name was LACMTA Regional Connector.  This was not consistent with the naming used for the various other projects (e.g., Metro Green Line (LACMTA)).  The new name, -- where the word LACMTA appears at the end in parentheses -- is better because it then acts a disambiguator.  This is consistent with other transit systems' wiki pages as well (like NYC subway and Chicago). Jcovarru (talk) 21:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Page Move

message: Shortly, I plan to move the following pages, as follows:
   Metro Blue Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Blue Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Metro Green Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Green Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Metro Red Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Red Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Metro Purple Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Purple Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Metro Gold Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Gold Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Metro Orange Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Orange Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Metro Silver Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Silver Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Metro Expo Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Expo Line (Los Angeles Metro)
   Expo Phase 1 (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Expo Phase 1 (Los Angeles Metro)
   Expo Phase 2 (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Expo Phase 2 (Los Angeles Metro)
   Crenshaw Corridor (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Crenshaw Corridor (Los Angeles Metro)
   Regional Connector (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Regional Connector (Los Angeles Metro)
The purpose of this change is to replace a less-well-known, technical name ("LACMTA") with a very descriptive and very familar name "Los Angeles Metro".  This will allow people who are unfamiliar with the acronym "LACMTA" to find information about the system in the Los Angeles area.
(BTW, "Los Angeles" in this case refers to "Los Angeles County", since the City of Los Angeles does not have any system called "Metro".)

thread_title: Planned Move

message: 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<BR/>(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<BR/>(after construction began)	Discusses the history of construction, from groundbreaking through revenue service.

message: 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)
