Redistribution of Red and Purple Line Information

Information related to the Metro Red and Purple Lines has been redistributed among three articles, as follows:

The article Red Line (Los Angeles Metro) describes the current service known as the Red Line. This article also discusses the history of the project historically known as "the Red Line", which built the subway corridors now used by the Red Line and Purple Line services. Finally, this article also lists possible future extensions of the Red Line route.

The article Westside Subway Extension (Los Angeles Metro) describes the history of and plans for the future subway corridor west of Western Avenue.

The article Purple Line (Los Angeles Metro) describes the current service known as the Purple Line.

The Red and Purple line articles were in serious disrepair and included inaccuracies, speculation and redundancy. Hopefully the newer, clearer distribution of information will help prevent this from happening again.

Standard format for Los Angeles Metro project articles

I am trying to standardize the format of Los Angeles Metro (LACMTA) project articles. The format is helpful to readers and editors, because it follows the lifecycle of a typical infrastructure project, and allows the article to grow organically as the project progresses.

The format consists of five sections, as follows:

Section name	Topics
Background	Discusses the motivation/objective/purpose of the project. Also discusses the history of early work to get the project going. Should include major milestones through Major Investment Study (MIS), Alternatives Analysis (AA) and Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).
Alternatives considered	Describes the corridor being studied. May also list some or all of the alternatives considered in the AA. Should list all alternatives studied in the DEIR.
Selected alternative (after LPA selected)	Describes the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in detail, plus any design options being carried forward for further study.
Other considerations	Discusses project funding, planned service, and any other important issues affecting the design and implementation of the project.
Construction phase (after construction began)	Discusses the history of construction, from groundbreaking through revenue service.
