Culver City Wants Outside Consult on Boring Company’s Tunnel Plan

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Boring Company’s plan to dig a 6.5 mile tunnel near Los Angeles was met with concerns this week from Culver City council members and the public. Elon Musk’s tunneling startup hopes to secure approval from the city council for the project, which is part of Musk’s vision to build an underground transportation system.

After hearing public comments and additional information from The Boring Company, Culver City plans to vote on hiring consultants to provide a better understanding of the project’s potential impact.

The Boring Company is also working with other jurisdictions and transportation agencies to advance the project.

Last month, the company released a map of its planned network of underground tunnels in Los Angeles.

The first route will be the 6.5-mile “proof-of-concept tunnel” through Los Angeles and Culver City. “The tunnel will initially be used for construction logistics verification, system testing, safety testing, operating procedure verification, and line-switching demonstrations.” If the company is successful in completing the project and proving it safe for public transport, Phase 2 will extend well into the outskirts of Los Angeles county.

In the map below, Phase 1 is in red and a preliminary route proposal for Phase 2 is in blue.
