Inglewood <la.curbed.com/neighborhood/827/inglewood> is looking to build an automated tram to link the Crenshaw Line <la.curbed.com/crenshaw-line>—a Metro train that’s set to open in 2019—with the city’s growing list of major attractions.
The people mover would run for 2 miles, connecting downtown Inglewood, the under-construction NFL stadium <la.curbed.com/nfl-stadium> and the neighborhood set to rise next to it, the Forum, and the arena that the Clippers might build <la.curbed.com/2018/6/19/17480328/inglewood-lawsuit-clippers-arena-housing>.
The route would be from Market Street (where the Crenshaw Line’s downtown Inglewood station will be located) to Manchester Avenue, then down Prairie Avenue to Century Boulevard, the Daily Breeze <www.dailybreeze.com/2018/07/16/inglewood-explores-building-a-people-mover-from-metros-crenshaw-line-to-nfl-stadium-the-forum/> reports. A one-way trip would take 13 minutes.
The elevated people mover would help residents and visitors access more public transportation options and “complete the first/last mile connection from the Regional Metro Rail system to the City’s major activity centers,” says the city’s website for the project <envisioninglewood.org/>.
