Following-up on our earlier meme, Metro's just-released Long Range Plan is juicy. Aside from the already planned or under construction projects—Gold Line to East L.A., Expo Line to Santa Monica, Orange Line to Chatsworth, Crenshaw Line to nowhere—the MTA has identified at least 15 new rail lines they're seriously studying. There's the Subway to the Sea, to be built in two parts with La Cienega being the dividing line. There's a Red Line extension from North Hollywood to the Burbank airport. There's a Green Line extension to the South Bay Galleria, and the long begged-for Green Line extension to LAX. And you might want to sit down for this one— there's a maglev. [Metro]
