7th Street/Metro Center, officially 7th Street/Metro Center/Julian Dixon, is a metro station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system located in the Financial District of Downtown Los Angeles at the intersection of 7th Street and Flower Street.[1]

The station is served by the light rail Blue Line and Expo Line, heavy rail Red Line and Purple Line, and by the bus rapid transit Silver Line. The Blue Line and Expo Line currently have their downtown terminus at this station. Many bus routes also serve the station.

This is the only station in the entire system that has an underground side platform.

Station layout

The station consists of three underground levels. The main concourse and the light rail side platforms are on the second underground level, while the heavy rail center platform is on the third level. A small first level mezzanine connects the light rail side platforms. The Metro Silver Line stops at the street level next to the station's entrances. The station used to serve the Macy's Plaza shopping mall. Macy's Plaza is being rebuilt as a new pedestrian friendly shopping mall renamed The Bloc which will add a new direct entrance from the mall to the subway station.

Station enhancements

Metro spent nearly $2 million worth of enhancements to 7th Street/Metro Center station as part of the Expo Line project which was completed weeks before the Metro Expo Line began service to La Cienega/Jefferson Station. This enhancement included a new dispatch booth and improved signage in the station.[2]

Regional Connector

Main article: Regional Connector Transit Corridor

The under construction Regional Connector Transit Corridor will result in the Blue Line and Expo Line continuing north from this station terminus through Downtown Los Angeles (via the Financial District and the Bunker Hill area) to connect with the Little Tokyo/Arts District Station on the Gold Line, which will then become an underground subway station and move across the street.[citation needed]
