Metro Issues: Work on Metro’s Purple Line SHUT DOWN Due to Safety Concerns & Sherman Oaks Raising Funds for a Metro Lawsuit on Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project
Work on Metro’s Purple Line has been halted due to safety concerns. The Purple Line extension project is a 2.6-mile segment of the extension that will extend the Purple Line from Western Avenue to the Westwood Veterans Affairs Hospital.
According to the LOS ANGELES TIMES, “Inside the dusty subterranean tunnel, ventilation is poor, standing water and muck are common, and ramps to and from tunnels are unstable, according to Metro documents describing worksite conditions.”
