The interurban Santa Monica Air Line ran south of Colorado on a private right-of-way in this area. While the E Line follows the Air Line's right-of-way for much of its route, the line and its stations in this area were moved to the median of Colorado Boulevard per a request from the City of Santa Monica during its design phase.
