Board votes unanimously for Crenshaw Boulevard transit project

The Crenshaw Boulevard transit project moved closer to reality Thursday as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board voted to build the project as a light rail line and to officially dub it the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor. The board’s unanimous vote, during a lively session before a standing-room-only audience, sends the project into the final environmental review phase.

The project will be financed by Measure R funds, the half-cent sales tax that was approved by county voters last year.
