This time, play-doh, blocks, Legos and miniature busses created a visually exquisite delight recently during a demonstration showing the Crenshaw Light Rail to LAX.
This specific event was inspired by transportation expert

The idea behind this demonstration of play-doh, however, was to grab the attention of attendees to encourage discussion about where the rail’s stops would be located, and how they wanted planning to begin around those stops.
In addition to line extensions, transfers will be eliminated through this plan, as some

This is not the first time that Move Trends has covered projects that used toys in real life. Take a look at

Indeed Mr. Prince. Thank you for your comment. Please check back again for more real estate trends.
Play-Doh did an excellent job illustrating the concept of the light-rail connecting a key Los Angeles urban area to the international hub of the world. Hopefully citizens of LA can get behind this idea.
