Document Description
The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) is proposing the Chatsworth Station and Signal Improvements Project to improve passenger safety and operational flexibility. The Project includes a new pedestrian undercrossing at Chatsworth Station. To support operational flexibility, the Main Track (MT-1) would be rehabilitated between Mile Post (MP) 445.2 and MP 445.6. Wooden ties would be replaced with concrete ties along this stretch of track. Other track materials, such as plates and tie clips, would be replaced, as necessary. The new rail infrastructure
would be constructed entirely within SCRRA’s right-of-way on Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Ventura Subdivision within Los Angeles County. Construction access would occur from Remment Avenue and last for up to 9 months (June 2023 through February 2024). Construction of the pedestrian undercrossing would require excavation to 17 feet, 3 inches below the existing ground surface.
