Acknowledging “bumps along the way,” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti thanked the Little Tokyo community for the patience shown by stakeholders as construction of the Regional Connector reached its halfway point on May 19.

The milestone was celebrated in the Japanese American National Museum’s plaza, across the street from the construction site on First Street between Alameda and Central, which has entailed many street closures over the years, impacting local businesses.

“Transportation improvements aren’t just about building infrastructure — they’re about building new connections to the people and places that we love,” said Garcetti, who is also chair of the Metro Board. “The Regional Connector will bring those connections to riders across the region, and today’s milestone means we’re one step closer to a one-seat ride from the Eastside to the beach.”

Speakers included former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, who is also chair of the JANM Board of Trustees; Metro CEO Phillip Washington; Metro Board member Jackie Dupont-Walker; and Dave Thompson, general manager at Bank of America Plaza for Brookfield Office Properties.

Mineta said that the Regional Connector will contribute to the economic development of Little Tokyo — which he described as a center for not only Japanese Americans but also the larger Asian Pacific Islander community —?and provide an environment in which young people can start businesses and grow as leaders.

The program included songs by Ukes for Little Tokyo, a senior ukulele band led by Chester Ikei; drumming by TaikoProject; ukulele music by Jason Arimoto from U-Space; an Afro-Brazilian capoeira martial arts demonstration (with the mayor joining in); games and face-painting for kids; and a miniature-golf hole created by artists Dan Kwong and Chris Tashima.

Treats were provided by local businesses, including Fugetsu-Do and Café Dulce. The event also featured a raffle for bicycles and Metro TAP cards, silent disco yoga led by JQ Williams of Bender Yoga, a DJ, and workshops led by Metro-commissioned artists Audrey Chan and Pearl C. Hsiung.

Metro anticipates 17,000 new riders when the Regional Connector becomes operational in 2021.The 1.9-mile underground transit project will eventually connect the Metro Blue, Expo and Gold Lines with a station at First Street and Central Avenue in Little Tokyo.

Two other stations are planned at Second Street/Broadway and Second Street/Hope.

“Today we celebrate the halfway mark of the Regional Connector Transit Project, a huge milestone for the community, for Metro and for the City of Los Angeles,” said City Councilmember Jose Huizar, whose district includes Little Tokyo. “The Regional Connector fits in with our DTLA Forward vision for a more multi-modal Downtown Los Angeles. Together, we must remain united in the goal of creating a great transportation network serving the entire region with DTLA as our public-transportation center point.”

Metro’s mitigation programs —?Business Solution Center, Business Interruption Funds, and Eat, Shop, Play — are helping to alleviate problems that the construction has caused for community-based businesses.
