That’s the Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension. I can’t wait. The construction is all underground through Boyle Heights, so not much visible progress yet.

But when it opens, there will be two stops - one at Mariachi Plaza on 1st & Boyle, and another at Soto & 1st - that will both be less than a mile walk from my front door.

I especially like how there are no homeless people and no tagging on the stations. And a man walking his dog on a leash. Obviously, the artists have never actually been to Boyle Heights.
