Upcoming Work

Bus Pads and Water Crossings

Wilshire Bl/Sycamore Av Antenna

Antenna

• Steel pole, slightly more than 62 feet above the concrete base
• Less than 12 inches in diameter
• Radio antenna must be in very close proximity (300 feet maximum) to the

underground station’s communications room (at the east end of the Wilshire/La Brea Station)

• This eliminates the loss of signal strength.
• Location provides connectivity to the various emergency response

agencies’ other local and mountain top radio transmitter/receiver sites

• Location allows the Purple Line radio system to have the coverage it

requires for all users:

• Metro Operations and Maintenance
• Public safety (police, fire, Sheriff, and Transit Security) in the

underground stations and tunnels

Station Naming Policy

33

Station Names will reflect the following principles:

• Transit system context: names will reflect the property’s location, relative to the entire

transit system, and not duplicated elsewhere.

• Property area: provide specific information about the property’s location relative to

the surrounding area.

• Neighborhood identity: acknowledge the communities and neighborhoods serviced

by the station and stops.

• Simplicity: names will be short, easily recognizable and fit for signage and mapping.
• Character limit: preferred maximum of 24 characters to ensure ADA readability and fit

within signage system.

Name your next Purple Line Stations

34

Metro staff originally developed a set of geographically-based names for the Section 1 Stations and are now seeking community input on those names. Submit your proposals at metro.net/purple
