I was walking around doing chores today and thought to see how far it really was to walk to the new metro extension of the Expo Line that should be open at least by the beginning of 2016. I used to think they might be opening station by station but no, the whole Phase 2 has to finish and it all opens at once.
Crazy, it’s .8 miles from my house to the 26th and Olympic station, and .8 miles from my house to the 17th and Colorado station. Not around the corner, but that’s 15-20 minutes walking, and perfectly doable, and quite safe enough I believe.
Except for about 70 spots at Santa Monica College (17th and Colorado) there is no parking for me.
