Document Description
The Proposed Project involves the construction of three capital improvements which would provide the capacity required to allow Metrolink commuter rail service to increase along the Antelope Valley Line (AVL) to 30-minute bi-directional headways between Los Angeles Union Station and the Santa Clarita Valley and up to 60-minute bi-directional headways between the Santa Clarita Valley and the Lancaster Terminal by the year 2028. The three capital improvements include the following: the Balboa Double Track Extension would extend the existing double track approximately 6,300 feet north from Balboa Boulevard to Sierra Highway in the City of Los Angeles; the Canyon Siding Extension would add approximately 8,400 feet of new double track between Soledad Canyon Road to Golden Oak Road and also provide a second station platform at the existing Santa Clarita Metrolink station in the City of Santa Clarita; and the Lancaster Terminal Improvements would include expansion of the existing train layover facilities by adding one new 1,000-foot-long and two 500-foot-long train storage tracks in the vicinity of the existing Lancaster Terminal Metrolink Station in the City of Lancaster.
