So the reason I initially aligned the subway map with Union Station at the top was to match the general alignment of the light rail map, where the left column is generally the north and west side stations with the east and south to the right. (it sort of fails at the D Line, but it was more imperative to maintain topography.) I don't totally mind the arrangement there is now, but I just wanted my original intent known. - MJ ( talk) 18:26, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Unfortunately, since I am not the best with BSicon, I left some breaks on the C Line. I was trying to correct some notably flawed geography since not all of the line is elevated. Therefore, I want to depict the stations at Avalon, Willowbrook/Rosa Parks, and Long Beach Boulevard all as separate elevated stations (akin to the E Line from Culver City, La Cienega/Jefferson, and Expo/La Brea) within the confines of this template, but I don't know how or if there is a way to do this (since they're all depicted as on a non-geographical curve.) Is there anyone who may be willing to assist me? I just didn't want to leave this problem unintended, but this would be more accurate to the geography of the C Line. Thank you! -- OrdinaryScarlett ( talk) 08:24, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
P.S. Not too sure if this would be possible given the complexities, but would it be possible to somehow show the freeway median stations on the A and C lines in their respective individual templates as either elevated or below grade? This might be redundant since the road icon already occupies the outer area of the tile. Additionally, would it also be possible on the C Line's individual template to show where I-105 "swerves" to meet with the line as a bridge? Again, probably redundant and unnecessary give the complexity of the road icon already taking up the outer area of the tile. Please don't feel pressured to fulfill this request if not possible.

I started Template:Los Angeles Metro Rail lines/sandbox to adapt some of the design features of Template:Overground RDT to this template. I feel that with a complex grid of lines, this approach provides greater clarity as far as which bullets represent which stations and the overall system topography. The major issue facing it seems to be the width of the map. There are probably also a few more spacing issues, such as with the Hollywood/Highland label on the upper left. I'm also not super happy with the tunnel section of the E line east of downtown. - MJ ( talk) 20:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
@ OrdinaryScarlett: a recent edit you made added planned opening years for stations. the reason I didn't include these from the offset it because horizontal space is a real premium here, and any extraneous text isn't really helping keep that down. as you left it, the dates are encroaching into adjacent lines on the unopened bit of the K line (which tbf is likely to open before this version of the routemap gets implemented), and the Foothill extension dates are adding more width on the left. I think the need for keeping the size down on this particular version of the map trumps the ability to display a bunch of information for each individual station. Maybe we could implement something in the key whereby †. ‡, or similar can denote opening dates? sort of like how the Tube map deals with notes? - MJ ( talk) 23:51, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
