The Santa Monica/La Brea station would serve the eastside of West Hollywood and adjacent neighborhoods of Hollywood. Home to a significant immigrant Russian population, the Eastside of WeHo is home to a relatively high proportion of transit-dependent and zero-car households. Second only to Fairfax Avenue in terms of bus ridership, La Brea Avenue is likely to remain a major transfer location with future rail service and peak hour bus lanes are in the works in both West Hollywood and Los Angeles to speed up bus service on La Brea and improve first/last mile connections. Community amenities in this area include both Plummer Park and Poinsettia Park, the West Hollywood Community Center, as well as the West Hollywood DMV and a variety of neighborhood serving shops and restaurants. The Santa Monica/La Brea intersection in particular has seen several large developments over the years including the West Hollywood Gateway shopping center and several large mixed use apartment buildings with ground floor retail. One block west is a major employment center at the Lot Studios home to Showtime and the Oprah Winfrey Network and five blocks east is the headquarters of the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the critical services they provide. Additional private development proposals in the vicinity include plans for a new 116 room hotel.
