Wilshire Bl/Sycamore Av Antenna Antenna • Steel pole, slightly more than 62 feet above the concrete base • Less than 12 inches in diameter • Radio antenna must be in very close proximity (300 feet maximum) to the underground station’s communications room (at the east end of the Wilshire/La Brea Station) • This eliminates the loss of signal strength. • Location provides connectivity to the various emergency response agencies’ other local and mountain top radio transmitter/receiver sites • Location allows the Purple Line radio system to have the coverage it requires for all users: • Metro Operations and Maintenance • Public safety (police, fire, Sheriff, and Transit Security) in the underground stations and tunnels

Pr Proper perty ar area: ea: provide specific information about the property’s location relative to • the surrounding area. Neighbor borhood ood i identity: acknowledge the communities and neighborhoods serviced • by the station and stops. Simp Simplic icity: names will be short, easily recognizable and fit for signage and mapping. • 33
