Mass transit theory has it that it is best to locate a stop or a station in the center of a densly constructed urban node, rather than at the ouside edge. Just as like a parking lot in front of any grocery store, people always park as close to the entrance as possible so as not to have to walk further than necessary. There is an economic payoff in operating a transit system if it is designed to be as accessible as possible. Density must be served, Pastrami Face™.

This is all about the future (political) career of the BHUSD president.

I agree. Run it all the way out the Avalon. Duque de Pastrana would then decry a de-watering threat to his beloved Santa Monica Bay.

You VM need to lay off of the pastrami, Ham Hock. Methane laden air that accumulated in the Ross Dress For Less building and exploded from whatever ignition source occurred when no gas sensors were required to be installed in commercial or public buildings. The existing subway tunnels in L A are monitored by sensors. The rail cars do no move, are stopped if the system of sensors do not operate. If a sensor sends an alert, it happens when the detected level of methane is significantly below a level of concentration sufficient to ignite.

Your mistake, Pastrami Face™, is that you imagine that an explosion in a tube sixty feet below grade would result in a mini Mount St. Helens creating a gigantic crater, that one or another high school building (and man-servanted students) would fly sky high. Stop bothering L A Curbed readers with your ignorance. A low grade atomic weapon would be required in order to create a crater from an explosion triggered within a steel reinforced open-ended concrete tube. The force of a methane caused explosion would run in two directions, horizontally, not be sufficient to breach the tube or disrupt geological strata.

The map above was produced by BHUSD and as pointed out by Jason Saunders, does not reflect the full seismic reality of the area. It is one thing to have built a tunnel transverse to the line of the fault north of downtown Hollywood, where boxing out would allow for realignnment of the rail bed if there is lateral/vertical offset caused by a quake.

Moreover, constructing a station on an active fault – either transverse of by straddle – would be sheer idiocy. It doesn’t take much sense to figure that out, pastrami face. It’d be more ludicrous that building an art museum (or a high school) on top of a fault line knowing that the fault exists and is active.

I worked for five years a few steps away from Wilshire & Rodeo (environmental design) and had numerous projects north of Sunset Blvd. You are FAR MORE RIGHT than you will ever know, lanatik.

Non-aryans walking around and carrying 99 Cent Only shopping bags anywhere near Rodeo Drive is what you’re REALLY concerned about, pastrami face.

You’re so right about that, pastrami face.

Terrorisrs, huh pastrami face? One of the subway cars would have to be packed solid with C-4 in order for the strata beneath the school to be affected by an explosion – anywhere near to the degree of your ridiculous suggestion. A typical false allegation in this era of Trump deviousness. An explosion in a tunnel for the MWD being dug under Sylmar in the 70’s was caused by methane. That was prior to the bore being lined with concrete. The surrounding strata was not affected.

For three years I walked back and forth from WW Village to Wilshire & Rodeo five days a week. That was twenty years ago and the traffic on Wilshire was such that I oftern got to my destination nearly as fast as if I drove. Faster – whenever the village was in gridlock (evening). Back then, Olympic was the fastest way to get across town. Not now, pastrami face.

The first phase of the Redline was tunneled under 12 story buildings in DTLA with no problem, pastrami face.
