gold line to ONT?
i think there needs more local rail within the a 10( maybe 15) mi radius of downtown before MTA starts getting too ambitious.
start a small grid (which is what we have) and expand in rings around town. or a spiral. once they finish the expo, start with a connecting line down crenshaw, then extend the one down wilshire, then furhter east (going north/south) maybe a large thoroughfare like atlantic. then go south to slauson. then another N/S route west of crenshaw(maybe parallel to the 405), then an east west line in the north. then another N/S line, further east of atlantic, and eventually you begin to have a series of loops that connect and move people about town.
when building these routes the biggest factors to consider are, ridership and population density. economic development/revitalization and employment zones are also factors to consider.
but all this could just be a dream...
