Pedestrian Tunnel Under Lankershim Could Link Red, Orange Lines
The project could be completed by 2014.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is considering building a 150-foot underground tunnel beneath Lankershim Boulevard from the Orange Line bus platform to the mezzanine level of the Red Line subway station, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's website.
The tunnel will cost $22 million and be funded primarily through a federal grant of $17.6 million, according to the Los Angeles Daily News, with Metro paying the additional $4.4 million. If the grant is awarded, which would be this summer, the project would be completed by 2014, according to the report.
The blog NoHoFoSho first reported on the proposed tunnel back on Feb. 11.
