The route through Hollywood and West Hollywood would run through key job centers and be close to many sites and entertainment venues that the out of town visitor wants to see.

The route through Miracle Mile and Hancock Park is mostly upscale residential homes, and the MTA would have to mitigate against safety problems as they tunnel through a methane field.

Let's avoid all the costly over runs that will come from the WIlshire alignment and build the more practical and viable Santa Monica Blvd. alignment instead.
