LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Residents Thursday will get the chance to question Metro officials about the impact of a massive tunneling project to extend the Purple Line subway that is scheduled to begin next year.

Officials will be available for questions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art at Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue at 5:30 p.m.

Construction for the Purple Line Extension project is expected to begin under Wilshire Boulevard in 2014.

“The worse thing for people is really the unknown, and we want to make sure we really tell people over the next year as we get ready for construction and going forward what they can expect so people can prepare for it,” Metro’s Community Relations manager Jody Litvak told KNX1070.
