Crenshaw station (sometimes referred to as Crenshaw C Line station to differentiate it from a similarly named station on the E Line) is an elevated light rail station on the C Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located in the median of Interstate 105 (Century Freeway), above Crenshaw Boulevard, after which the station is named. The station is in the city of Hawthorne, California and opened as part of the Green Line on August 12, 1995.[5]
The station is not named for the Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles, which is located several miles north of it and is served by the K Line.[6]
The station was initially named Crenshaw/I-105 but was later simplified to Crenshaw in 2000.[7]
The stories on the tiled walls at the station's street-level plaza were collected and organized by Buzz Spector in an artwork entitled "Crenshaw Stories."[8]
