Our Crenshaw community-driven effort to inform, engage and empower Crenshaw stakeholders would not be possible without your active support and engagement. The Crenshaw Subway Coalition accomplished incredible feats in 2013, highlighted by the achievement of one of the community’s key design goals for the Crenshaw-LAX light rail line, a station at Leimert Park Village.

MTA CEO Art Leahy is not in charge. Nobody voted for him. Mr. Leahy works at the pleasure of the MTA Board, which includes...

We are doing everything short of writing the story and putting it on their printing presses ourselves to expose a scandal of massive proportions that surrounds the Crenshaw light rail Line contract award decision.
