Elon Musk’s proposal to build a zero-emissions underground tunnel from the Hollywood area to Elysian Park is scheduled to have a public hearing at Dodger Stadium Tuesday night.

Dubbed the “Dugout Loop,” the 3.6-mile, all-electric underground tunnel would run from Dodger Stadium to property owned by Musk’s tunnel construction company, The Boring Company, near the Vermont/Sunset, Vermont/Santa Monica and Vermont/Beverly Metro Red Line stations.

The tunnel would be entirely financed with private funds and not require any tax money, according to officials.

Both the Dodgers and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti have expressed support for exploring the project.

“Always exciting to see innovative ideas like the proposed Dugout Loop to @Dodgers Stadium that could help ease congestion on our roads and make our most iconic destinations more accessible to everyone,” Garcetti said in a tweet.

While Musk himself will not be present, officials at the meeting are expected to present the design, offer an overview of the environmental review process and receive public comments regarding the project.

The Dugout Loop would consist of what Boring Company officials refer to as “autonomous electric skates.” These skates would be propelled by multiple electric motors, and would be able to carry eight to 16 people.

The skates would travel at 125 to 150 miles per hour, making for a trip that would last less than four minutes and cost around $1, according to the company.

Officials estimate that the Dugout Loop would be able to transport 1,400 people in total per event.

Construction of the tunnel and its stations are expected to last up to 14 months, but Boring Company officials have said it could be completed in “much less” time.

Tuesday’s public hearing is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
