Much of the area on and near Jefferson Boulevard west of the La Cienega Expo station is without sidewalks, deserted and dimly lighted. The Expo line puts us in harm's way whenever we are forced to walk from the La Cienega station stop toward Culver City, but it's a particulary scary experience at night. Top notch security devices on the train and platform are no deterent to crimes committed against persons walking home from the station. Great police work, but terrible planning with rare bus #4.
