Nevertheless, it isn't a stretch to say that as the built environment on Grand Ave/Civic Center continues to evolve and mature into a coherent urban setting, it will contribute toward LA becoming the undisputed West Coast cultural hub as people easily access not only Grand Ave with its music, art, and theatre, but also the Natural History Museum/California Science Center, LACMA, and Hammer Museum with the opening of the Expo Line and Purple Line Extension.

IMO, the Regional Connector is the most important piece to the puzzle of Grand Avenue becoming an accessible destination. Sure the Red/Purple Line Civic Center station isn't that far, but another station would really give a boost to the area because it would be right next to both museums and WDCH, with The Grand and Civic Center Park both a very short walking distance away.
