The project, called 96th Street Station, is being designed with swooping canopies, skylights, and glazed screens to create a spacious environment for travelers... — Urbanize LA
After much anticipation, progress for the 96th Street Transit Station has made leaps and bounds in its development stage. Metro's new transit station aims to connect the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to its regional transit system.
Grimshaw Architects and Gruen Associates have been working on the multimodal transit station since the project was approved in June 2014. The station was designed to be the new "gateway" to LAX for transit riders. After an in depth environmental review process, 46 day public hearing, and additional reviews from the Metro Board of Directors the station was set for development.
The new transit hub is set to feature three at-grade Light Rail Transit platforms that will serve the Metro Green and Crenshaw/LAX lines. The station will also feature a Metro Bike hub, passenger vehicle pick-up and drop-off area, and connections to several bus lines.
The 9.5-acre site is set to open in 2023. Initial image renderings were provided by Grimshaw Architects back in 2017, but now the firm has recently provided an animated preview of the new metro rail station.
