Expo/Bundy (formerly Bundy) station is an inactive light rail station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. It is located at the intersection of Bundy Drive and Exposition Boulevard in West Los Angeles, California. When it re-opens, the station will be served by the Expo Line.[1]
This station is currently under construction as part of Expo Phase 2. It is expected to open in 2015.[2]
Location and design
This station is in West Los Angeles, and will be on an elevated structure spanning Bundy Drive, just south of Olympic Boulevard. The area is a busy commercial center, with heavy traffic on nearby boulevards partly due to the two major freeways nearby. Directly to the west (across Centinela) is the proposed site of the Expo Vehicle Maintenance Facility.
The elevated station structure will stand 30 feet above Bundy Drive. To the east, the track will descend a retained fill embankment before crossing Barrington Avenue. To the west, the track will descend a retained fill embankment after crossing Centinela Avenue.
Parking will be located at-grade in the right-of-way near the station.[3]
