Busy downtown santa monica station 20160521
Overview
The station is located in Downtown Santa Monica, off-street in the block bounded by 4th and 5th Streets, Colorado Avenue, and the 10 Freeway. The site is located in the midst of Santa Monica's Civic Center, within a short walk of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Pier, the Third Street Promenade, the Civic Auditorium, and Santa Monica High School. The block was formerly the location of a Sears auto center, which was demolished in 2010 to make way for the station. P There were two options for the station alignment within the block. The primary alignment in the FEIR has the station angled between the southwest and northeast corners of the block. The design option (also included in the FEIR) has the station parallel to 4th Street. In either case, all tracks arrive from the east along Colorado Avenue, and a transit plaza will be located along Colorado Avenue near 4th Street.
A trip from downtown Santa Monica to downtown Los Angeles takes 47 minutes.
