@AlectricDreams said in OPPOAfterDark...GM will let you see your great 'babci' by appointment only:
@SantaBarbarian Wish it was still around, the mall just isn't as cool
Yeah, "the Plant" Mall is my poster child (and, regrettably I have a bunch) of how screwed up the planning is in LA. City of LA had first crack at re-developing that site, even as they were placing the new Flyaway Lot less than two miles away?!??
The old GM site was larger, sat right on Van Nuys Blvd... and directly adjacent to the AMTRAK and Metrolink line (and VNY Amtrak station).
Oh, BTW, that site will be on the (eventual) Metro West Side Line from LAX, over the pass and on up Van Nuys Blvd to Santa Clarita and HSR.
So, why the hell couldn't LA actually make some modes of transit actually "connect"... That GM plant location would have been an ideal multi-modal transit center. Fast rides downtown. Huge Parking Garage. Direct service to LAX. Direct service to multiple Metrolink lines. Plus, AMtrak service.
Instead? We get another dying mall.
