Metro opens first D Line Extension segment with three new Wilshire Corridor stations

Los Angeles Metro opened Section 1 of the D Line Extension on May 8, 2026, adding new subway stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega. Metro says the expansion improves travel between Mid-Wilshire, Miracle Mile, Koreatown, Downtown Los Angeles and Beverly Hills with faster, traffic-free trips and better access to jobs, museums, shopping and bus connections. For local real estate agents, the opening is a practical mobility and neighborhood-access update that may strengthen buyer and renter interest in areas near the new stations while also shaping how clients think about commute options and access to major amenities along Wilshire.
