Metro Board Moves Ahead with Purple Line under Beverly Hills HS

On a vote of seven to two, LA County transportation officials decided today that the Subway to the Sea will require a tunnel 70 feet below the Beverly Hills High School. The MTA board made the decision despite the pleas of city officials and parents. The Beverly Hills PTA even produced a video opposing the action.

A satirical musical video in favor of the MTA route was produced by a group called LA on the Move, although nobody knows who that is.

Neal Broverman, editor of CurbedLA.org, picks up the story.
