Never one to wait for permission, Elon Musk’s the Boring Company has published its first city-wide map tracing the routes it would like to build as a Los Angeles underground transportation system. The company, dedicated to building an underground transit network, has yet to build a working subterranean system. However, it has been piling up permits (paywall) and endorsements from government agencies, and dug a test tunnel in the parking lot of SpaceX in Hawthorne, California (Musk is founder of both companies).

The Boring Company published the map on its website on Dec. 5. It shows a 6.5-mile proof-of-concept tunnel through Los Angeles (for which it claimed to have filed permits) and a Phase 2 expansion (blue on the map) that would stretch for more than 50 miles through major arteries of the city. The Boring Company warned the map is intended as “a concept, not as a finalized alignment” and it wanted to cooperate with county and city governments, as well as the general public.
