Los Angeles residents have been waiting for the Metro D line to extend its reach down Wilshire Boulevard for more than a decade, and the time has finally come to unveil the new extension. Stations at La Brea Avenue, Fairfax Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard will open Friday, giving riders the ability to get from Beverly Hills to Downtown L.A. in an gridlock-busting 20 minutes.

Though the city continues to be almost hopelessly car-centric, the extension of the D line is a huge step for those Angelenos willing to give the Metro a chance — and possibly save a lot of sitting in traffic at the same time.
