Exposition Connection

• At-grade connection to Exposition – challenging – Right-of-way (ROW) conflict with District

Square Development

 – Significant at-grade ROW impacts – Unmitigable Traffic Impacts – Difficult Safety Issues

Below-grade configuration withBelow-grade Crenshaw/ExpositionStation is being examined in the Final

EIS/EIR and Preliminary Engineering• Cost remains an issue
