Right...that was implicit, I thought. I think they're clearly already thinking of an extension to Inglewood, at least that's what's been reported.

It would make sense to make use of the Harbor Subdivision w/ the Green Line (mostly, if they just extend it to Long Beach) and extend the Crenshaw Line along that corridor.
