The president's new budget contains $130 million in New Starts funding for the Purple Line subway extension and the Regional Connector tunnel in DTLA. The largesse represents the "first time that both projects will actually receive federal money" and will be split evenly between the connector and the subway extension, which are in pre-construction work and should open in 2020 and 2022, respectively (the last date reflects the subway's first phase to Wilshire and La Cienega).
