It took more than half a century of studying, planning and constructing (and delays), but the vision for a high-capacity rail line through South Los Angeles and Inglewood that links to one of the busiest airports in the world is finally arriving (mostly).

The L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s K Line, or Crenshaw/LAX Line, is slated to open this Friday, Oct. 7. The agency is hosting a K Line Fest from noon to 6 p.m. that day at Leimert Park Plaza to celebrate, with food, live entertainment and giveaways planned.
