L.A. Subway

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how Los Angeles is a city that once had an extensive rail system and then abandoned it. The paper explains how more recently, the city has undertaken a massive building project with rail lines above ground and a subway line underground to cover much of the area of the city. The paper notes that the subway portion of the system has been the most costly, the most problem-plagued and the most disruptive to businesses and residents of the city. The paper contends that the high costs may be too high when compared to the benefits of the finished system. On the other hand, the paper shows that the system may develop into a valuable means of reducing above-ground traffic, with all of the ills that this entails.
