With work underway on the second phase of the Expo Line light rail project, the Expo Construction Authority is hosting a community meeting near the train’s eventual final destination in Santa Monica.

Project staffers will present a 15-minute update on the project design and upcoming construction activities before shifting to an open house-style discussion session. Renderings of the project’s progress will be displayed and staff members will be on hand to answer questions. The meeting takes place on Wednesday, July 18, at 6:30 p.m., in the East Wing Meeting Room of the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, located at 1855 Main Street.

Major construction on the project is expected to begin in late July or early August. When the line opens, it will offer a 46-minute ride from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.
