Section 3 Purple Line Extension Construction Updates
More Veterans Housing and Transit Options Coming Soon to Westwood
On June 23, Community Relations and Construction Management met with the West LA Veterans Collective. Most known for the Villages at Cabrillo, the West LA Veterans Collective is working to create a thriving, supportive, and therapeutic neighborhood on the North Campus of West LA VA.
The collective's plan includes housing, services, and amenities to serve our veterans. The online discussion focused on construction schedules and mitigation efforts for efficient coordination between the Purple Line Extension Project and West LA Veterans Collective.
Housing development will focus on the North Campus, while Purple Line Extension construction is primarily south of Wilshire Blvd. Purple Line Extension station construction on Bonsall Av and Wilshire Bl for the Westwood/VA Hospital Station is slated for Spring 2022, providing time for scheduling coordination.
