Here is what WAS back in 2009:
"Metro is evaluating a potential new transit system connecting southeast Los Angeles County to downtown Los Angeles via the abandoned Pacific Electric Right-of-Way/West Santa Ana Branch Corridor (PEROW/WSAB), and a combination of local streets and private and Metro owned rail ROW. The study area stretches approximately 12-miles from Union Station to the PEROW/WSAB in the City of Paramount and 8-miles south along the PEROW/WSAB to the City of Artesia.
The WSAB Transit Corridor is one of twelve (12) projects funded by Measure R, a one-half cent sales tax approved by Los Angeles County voters in November 2008. The project is contained in Metro’s 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) with a projected revenue service date of 2027. $240 million in Measure R funds is allocated for this project."
