The Exposition line would carry riders between Santa Monica and downtown in 45 minutes. It is needed because the westside has the highest population and employment density of any So. Cal. area. The MTA board has tied this line with a dedicated busway along Wilshire, and that has become a no-go. Braithwaite Burke, the MTA Board chairwoman, has resisted this light line. But her term expires in July. It is hoped that her rotation off as chair will give a green-light to the Expo light line at long last.
