LA Transit - Crenshaw Corridor - Under Metro Green Line - In the Shadow of the Stump - Hanging Out Since 1990s

            At the upper right, in the shadow, is one of the Green Line stumps that will be used to conneect with the Crenshaw Corridor. At left (yellow) machinery is driling a hole for a rebar column to support the connection to the westbound stump. The Green Line has just emerged from the median of the I-105 freeway (in the background).  I-105 is an "interstate" highway but never leaves California, or even Los Angeles County. It does not connect to either I-10 or I-5. At one time it was supposed to continue to I-5 but the link was never built due to "community opposition" - it now ends with an always jammed connection with I-605 and an almost useless stub (carpools only) ending at a city street. Anyone driving alone cannot easily (or legally) get to Imperial Highway at the east (Norwalk) end of I-105 -- punishment for not allowing the extension to I-5.
