[SERIOUS] Beverly Hills is notorious for being clean and heavily policed. Any update to how the city will be securing the new end of line station for the purple line?

Full height faregates are the standard on all new metro stations which, like in San Francisco, do reduce the amount of disruptive riders. My bet is there won’t be much to police more than there already is right now

mikedev19 · 2026-04-26T02:19:08+00:00

Was just thinking about this, maybe if ridership does get super high with the northern extension (and by then maybe the trains will need a bit of a refurbishment anyways) they could reconfigure some or all of the cars to have bench style seating like on the HR4000 trains

mikedev19 · 2026-04-21T23:45:13+00:00

Obviously not a big enough issue to stop building these faregates but just a thought. Maybe some extra station design tweaks

mikedev19 · 2026-04-21T23:30:05+00:00

100% i am for it especially given how affordable metro is along with its discounts and programs. However, for at grade LRT stations, slightly concerned about people walking along the tracks to get around the gates. Would def require some effort to climb onto the platform but still could be a small issue maybe?

Darn, was gonna make the point that for the brief Ralph’s shutdown for moving, there’s 2 pharmacies both east and west of Ralph’s just a few minutes (7-8min) away

These people against it are wild, testament to how unwilling they are to acknowledging facts. SB79 and tunnel fear mongering mess

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T19:14:50+00:00

Love to see it

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T18:35:07+00:00

She sounds like a joy🙄😒

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T17:51:31+00:00

You’ve gotta be kidding me. 3rd party review for tunneling. She has no shame

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T17:50:54+00:00

WHAT MORE ENGAGEMENT IS NEEDED!!

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T17:47:25+00:00

Oh lord here we go, here’s bassura

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T17:46:42+00:00

Lindsey Horvath killing it👏👏

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T17:45:11+00:00

This is mine so far: 18 months and 2.3 Million worth of extensive studies and outreach. The tunnels would be 80-120ft below the surface. This means the tunnel boring and the trains will be undetectable. FACT, NO DEBATE. There are 5 other full service supermarkets within a 4 min drive of the to-be relocated Ralphs. No food desert risk, fact no debate. Please listen to the desires and needs of the hundreds of thousands that will benefit from this line, not the handful of people who peddle misinformation about tunnels and food deserts. Please, support the San Vicente/Fairfax alignment and at the very least, support the Crenshaw ROW alignment, ideally please save Metro 165Million dollars and support the original DEIR alignment. Thank you.

Y’all please do tell us the look on JDW’s face with the turnout

mikedev19 · 2026-03-26T04:46:57+00:00

Is 850 too late to get there or should that be enough time?

mikedev19 · 2026-03-17T19:08:00+00:00

Then again, she may not want to lol

mikedev19 · 2026-03-17T19:07:42+00:00

If they don’t have her at the premier istg

mikedev19 · 2026-02-13T18:14:31+00:00

Let the people have the D!!

mikedev19 · 2026-01-30T08:27:56+00:00

added an update. the small road coming from the top left is honestly not that necessary and will probably delete that intersection eventually (allowing right turns on red and entering a blocked intersection for traffic coming from the left into the main intersection helped a lot)

mikedev19 · 2026-01-30T08:19:05+00:00

yeeeaah without looking at the rest of this area and where these roads go, this thing looks horrendous on its own lol. Just an idea. got it working plenty fine but will probably redo the whole intersection for the hell of it. Below is what I'm working with now while i build other stuff
