Having spent the last few weeks in Minneapolis, where greenways are plentiful and built into LRT plans, I can only hope that my hometown could try something similar. I’m sure maintenance is not cheap, but I’ve got to think that there’s a long-run payoff in there somewhere. Right?

If those uppity Idiot Hills NIMBYS still hate this plan, then they should move out to mothafreaking Idaho where they won’t have to deal with the colored people they so fear coming into their neighborhoods, because the Militant would gladly relocate his compound to Cheviot Hills if this all comes together.

This is a win-win for everyone. The much needed Expo Line gets built, the open area between Overland and Sepulveda becomes a great park, and the neighborhood gets the advantages of each.

With this design it appears that Overland Ave can now be grade separated and the storm drain under Overland can now be brought into the open for an actual running stream through the suburban neighborhood in a beautiful park environment.

The station and parking can be west of Sepulveda to keep this residential neighborhood green and attractive.

And you don’t need ME to tell you how hard it is to fund recreation projects in already-owned public rights-of-way.

Good luck, CREATE Expo. Good luck.
