Chinatown is an elevated light rail station on the L Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located along Spring Street above College Street in the Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles, just north of Downtown Los Angeles.[1] This station opened on July 26, 2003, as part of the original Gold Line, then known as the "Pasadena Metro Blue Line" project.
The Chinatown station is a short walk from North Broadway, a bustling street of Chinese-American restaurants and stores.[2]
This station and all the other original and Foothill Extension stations will be part of the A Line upon completion of the Regional Connector project in 2022.
