Westside D Line Subway Extension – Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority
Metro’s Westside D Line Subway Extension will extend the D Line nine miles west from downtown Los Angeles to the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Hospital, traveling along the busy Wilshire corridor.
The $7.9 billion project will provide a fast, reliable, high-capacity, and environmentally sound transportation solution, serving as a primary connector between residential communities throughout Los Angeles County and the very dense regional job centers on the Westside. The project will result in significant environmental benefits, including improved air quality, congestion relief, economic development, and increased mobility.
RMM successfully defended Metro in 10 lawsuits alleging violations of CEQA, NEPA, the Public Records Act, the Public Utilities Code, and Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation, leading to the published opinion in Beverly Hills Unified School Dist. v. Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (2015) 241 Cal.App.4th 627. Tiffany Wright is RMM’s lead attorney for Metro.
