DTLA, Regional Connector

As the name suggests, Metro’s Regional Connector embodies Downtown’s renewed role as the hub that connects Angelenos – to each other, to jobs, shopping, services, activities, and amenities. While other rail projects may span greater distance or have more stops, the Regional Connector’s 1.9 miles of track and three new stations has more strategic significance for the city and its transit system. Like DTLA, the Regional Connector punches above its weight because its importance and impact reach across the county and beyond.

DTLA, Public Space

While DTLA has evolved into a dynamic 24-7 mixed-use neighborhood, crucial to its continued success will be how its public space is adapted and improved to meet the changing needs and preferences of its increasingly varied population.
