Pico/Aliso station is an at-grade light rail station on the E Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located in the median of East 1st Street between South Anderson Street and South Utah Street in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.[2] This station opened on November 15, 2009, as part of the Gold Line Eastside Extension.
Location
[edit]Pico/Aliso station is located in the western part of the Boyle Heights neighborhood of eastern Los Angeles. The station is the first east of the Los Angeles River on the Gold Line Eastside Extension. Pico/Aliso lies in a low-density residential and industrial area. The Santa Ana Freeway, carrying US 101, acts as both a major transport artery in the area and the eastern border of the station precinct. The infamous Aliso Village housing project sat near the site of Pico/Aliso station but was demolished before the station opened.
Transit-oriented development
[edit]One of the aims of the Gold Line extension is to encourage transit-oriented development around Metro stations. At Pico/Aliso, the most prominent development is the Pueblo del Sol public housing project to the northeast of the station.[3]

[edit]Station layout

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
