Description: Venice/Sepulveda Boulevards diversion option for the Metro Expo Line, shown as the dashed aqua line, and the original right-of-way alignment, shown as the solid aqua line. Also shown are the population densities in the City of Los Angeles. Both alignment options serve the high-density population areas of Palms and Westside Village equally well, through the Motor Ave–Palms/National/Exposition Boulevards station for the original right-of-way alignment and through the Overland Ave/Venice Blvd station for the diversion option. The original right-of-way alignment, through the Westwood Blvd–Overland Ave/Exposition Blvd station, serves the high-density population areas of the Pico Blvd vicinity, Century City, and Westwood better than the diversion option. On the other hand, the diversion option serves the high-density population area of Culver City better than the original right-of-way alignment. Historically there used to be passenger and freight rail both on the Exposition Blvd right-of-way and on Venice Blvd, pointing to the significance of both alignment options.
