Wilshire/La Cienega Station

Metro -La Cienga Station

When will the Wilshire/La Cienega Station open for subway riders?

Metro is expected to open the La Cienega Station, as well as the Fairfax and La Brea stations (Section 1), in 2025 for public use. The entrance to the station will be located at the northeast corner of the Wilshire and La Cienega intersection. Currently, this space is occupied by Metro’s La Cienega Staging Yard.

What will happen to the La Cienega and Gale construction staging yards when the station opens?

When construction is complete, the La Cienega Yard will become the station’s entrance (see the artist’s rendering at the top of this page). Future development above the station entrance is possible, but there are no current plans.

The City will retain ownership of the Gale Yard once construction is complete and is currently evaluating the development of a mobility hub at the site. This could include space for passenger and shuttle pick-up and drop-off, bike parking, plaza seating, security, food kiosks, wayfinding information, and public art. Development of the site could begin as early as 2024, when Metro vacates the site and the subway opens.

Will there be any art incorporated into the Wilshire/La Cienega Station?

As part of the Purple (D Line) Extension project, the Metro Art Department selects artists to develop unique artworks for each of the future subway stations. The City of Beverly Hills – Arts & Cultural Commission is involved in the artist selection process for the Wilshire/La Cienega and Wilshire/Rodeo stations.
