Cool video of a simulated trip along the old Pacific Electric right-of-way that's slated to become Phase 2 of the Expo Line light-rail to Santa Monica. Prepared earlier this month for the Transit Coalition, the clip starts west of Robertson and then goes past Pico, Overland, Westwood, Sawtelle and points west. They have been talking about completion in 2015, but here's a visual reminder of how challenging the second phase is likely to be. I'm guessing closer to 2020. (h/t Curbed LA)
