The project is a direct rail tunnel from the /*San Fernando Valley*/ to /*Westwood*/.
Organizers say commuters could go from Ventura Boulevard to Wilshire Boulevard in just six minutes.
This new project is part of the 30/10 Plan, a move to accelerate 30 years of projects into 10 years by leveraging the measure R sales tax revenue passed in 2008.
The 30/10 Plan would borrow against the 30-year revenue stream through federal programs that enable public and private financing.
