Union Station (Los Angeles) expansion update - to allow through-running
https://ktla.com/news/travel/first-step-of-long-awaited-union-station-revamp-now-underway/
A multibillion-dollar plan to renovate and modernize Los Angeles Union Station took a crucial first step last week.
On Dec. 21, construction crews began the process of demolishing an existing building to make way for the expansion of Southern California’s historic transit hub, which will undergo massive and ambitious changes in the coming years.
During a one-day closure in downtown L.A., crews installed traffic control barriers and began the initial prep work for the demolition of a former self-storage facility located on the 800 block of East Commercial Street.
Demolition of the building will begin in January and will take about six months to complete, according to an LA Metro memo.
