At the September Little Tokyo Community Council meeting last month, Metro publicly unveiled its at-grade regional connector option, which would run down Temple and Alameda. Above are some pictures of the models that the MTA brought for their presentation.The Rafu Shimpo wrote up a story describing the complicated issues and struggles surrounding Metro's proposed development in Little Tokyo, and mentioned a letter issued by Senator Dan Inouye addressed to the chair of the MTA board brought up during the discussion. Here is the entirety of Inouye's letter:

Thanks for posting this!
From the photos, it is obvious that both the at-grade option and the underground option will include a bridge over the tracks and Alameda in a trench under the tracks.
What the photos don't show, because the model isn't big enough to show it, is that the underground option would be completely underground and out of the way of traffic on Second Street.
The photos also don't show the underground station at Second/Los Angeles that Little Tokyo would gain if the underground option got built.
