Hollywood Historic District at Risk due to Proposed Metro K-Line Extension
Historic Preservation Blog from PreservationDirectory.com -
Contributed By: Los Angeles Conservancy
Email The Author: info@laconservancy.org
Website: https://www.laconservancy.org/save-places/issues/metro-k-line-northern-extension/

Metro is in the early stages of planning a northern extension for the K Line, which would create a new subterranean light rail line stretching from West Adams to Hollywood, with three possible routes under consideration and an option to extend the Hollywood Bowl. The Conservancy is concerned about the potential demolitions in Hollywood and West Hollywood as part of the project. 

Four historic buildings in Hollywood are at risk in all three route options due to proposed stations and construction staging. All four buildings are contributors to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District, which was listed in the National Register in 1984. Additional demolition could compromise the district's integrity and its eligibility for the National Register. 

We’re asking Metro to identify and select a preservation-based approach in the Final Enivronmental Impact Report (EIR), which would preserve and adaptively reuse one of the targeted historic buildings as the proposed station entrance.

The deadline to submit comments has been extended to September 20, so please submit written comments urging Metro to refine the project to respect Hollywood and West Hollywood’s heritage.
