expo line mapLos Angeles, CA – The newly extended Expo line has created a lot of excitement in the Downtown area and surrounding communities.  Both the local area and USC have greatly benefitted from this new project.  It allows community members to have the opportunity to not only explore different parts of Los Angeles, but also allows the community to have easier access and opportunities to jobs and employment.  On June 20th, 2012 at noon the Culver City and Farmdale stations will be opened for the first time.

In efforts to promote public transportation and mark the occasion of this event, Metro will provide free day passes to the public for the Expo Line.  In addition, this event coincides with Downtown Culver City’s “Summer Solstice” Happy Hour event, which has a number of participating businesses providing free goodies and offers for the public.  The combination of both events should greatly entice the public to explore new parts of Los Angeles County as well as provide an affordable means to do so.

The Expo Line will bring Los Angeles County closer as its aim is to connect Downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica.  The completion of the project will alleviate traffic on the Interstate 10 freeway, reduce carbon emissions, and promote community by riding on efficient public transportation.

Motivation. Creativity. Innovation.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California where I find my exuding school spirit for all things Cardinal and Gold to motivate me everyday to explore and interact with everything from the familiar to the unknown. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Urban Planning with an emphasis in Sustainable Planning within the Sol Price School of Public Policy as well as minor in Architecture. My dream is to bridge the fields of Urban Planning and Architecture into a seamless setting as I believe the two can create positive change not only to the current community but also impact future generations to come. I find these fields to be very interesting as my future plans is to pursue a Master’s in Architecture and if all goes well and planned, I aim to manage and own a city planning and architectural firm. This idealized dream of mine manifested itself over the course of my childhood where I found myself naturally attached to art, architecture, and design. I never for a moment overlooked the possibilities these could affect society, and it is my hope that I can create my dream into a reality.
