Where did the idea for the Red Car Line originate?
In 1995, a blue ribbon task force appointed by the Board of Harbor Commissioners proposed a rail line to link the string of pearls attractions along the waterfront. In 1998, the Pacific Corridor Citizens Advisory Committee recommended a passenger rail connection between the Cruise Ship Terminal and 22nd St (anticipating future development at the site) with intermediate stops at 6th Street and Ports O Call Village. The Port of Los Angeles then developed the concept as a community improvement and unique economic development engine.
