The Crenshaw/LAX Transit is a mass-transit project that will construct a new 8.5 mile of light rail line through southwest Los Angeles. The project features eight stations, including Leimert Park and Hindry. The rail line will run between the Expo Line on Exposition Boulevard and the Metro Green Line. It will consist of aerial, below-grade, and at-grade areas throughout the project. The project, when completed, will run from Jefferson Park in the north to El Segundo in the south with a projected ridership of 16,000.
