Civic Center (LACMTA Station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Civic Center is an underground island station on the Metro Red line. It features a colorful art installation titled I Dreamed I Could Fly, which has six fiberglass persons in flight, intended to be representative of the human spiritual voyage. The installation was designed by Jonathan Borofsky. The station also has a surname of Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles at that time who had a pivotal role of opening the subway.
The station opened on January 30, 1993.
