I think the worst case scenario is the Purple Line getting extended only to Fairfax, which would suck - but if BH has their way, this might end up happening.


On a semi-related note: Orange Line opens to Chatsworth on Saturday.
If this goes to litigation it will be interesting to see the "experts" discussing why towers are proposed at the Beverly Hilton, on Little SM and directly above the "unsafe" station. But hopefully it will be resolved.

btw, BH has no objection to the La Cienega or Rodeo Dr. stops or to building the CC stop on Little SM, at the 39 story tower you mention, and continuing to the VA (or SaMo for that matter).
