Link the coming Sunset and La Cienega Bus Rapid Transit Corridors

 Here is a Metro Los Angeles map of potential transit corridors for possible upgrade to Bus Rapid Transit.   



Metro  recently released it's top five priorities for Bus Rapid Transit corridors.



The La Cienega BRT Line would run from Slauson to Santa Monica Blvd.  Why not link this BRT Line  to the new proposed Sunset - Cesar Chavez BRT Line via Santa Monica Blvd. and/or Sunset Blvd.?



That map may off on scale, but a BRT Line between the ocean - Venice - La Cienega - San Vicente - Santa Monica - Sunset - Cesar Chavez - Union Station sounds pretty cool, doesn't it?  Actually that alignment works really well as a streetcar/tram too.

(As a side note, La Brea is also targeted for future BRT.  Well, if La Brea is already getting BRT, then surely the Crenshaw Metrorail Northern Extension project should flow at least as westerly as Fairfax.  La Brea doesn't need both, especially when we compare a potential stop to serve The Grove / Television City at Beverly & Fairfax, versus the two gas stations and a car rental at Beverly & La Brea.)
