"The new stations will take riders west, past the existing Wilshire/Western station in Koreatown, and stopping along the Miracle Mile before arriving at Beverly Hills. The 3.92-mile addition winds through Hancock Park, Windsor Square, the Fairfax District and Carthay Circle. The stations will be located at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega."
"The Purple Line extension project - with the goal of adding seven stations and expanding service on the line to Hancock Park, Century City, Beverly Hills and Westwood - broke ground more than a decade ago. Metro's goal is to finish by the 2028 Summer Olympics."
"Traveling through Mid-Wilshire to experience the culture, cuisine and commerce across diverse neighborhoods will be easier, faster and more accessible. That connectivity from Downtown LA to the westside will [enhance regional transit infrastructure]."
Metro will open three new stations on the D Line (Purple Line) on May 8, extending service west from Koreatown through the Miracle Mile to Beverly Hills. The 3.92-mile extension includes stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax, and Wilshire/La Cienega, passing through Hancock Park, Windsor Square, the Fairfax District, and Carthay Circle. This first phase of the project cost $3.7 billion and was completed months later than originally projected. The full extension project aims to add seven stations total and expand service to Westwood by the 2028 Olympics. The existing Purple Line between downtown and Koreatown averages 65,000 daily boardings, making it one of Metro's most heavily used rail lines.
