High-Speed Rail in Fullerton — Community Meeting

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) will host a public open house in the City of Fullerton to provide the community with a project update, information about the proposed alternative alignments, design options, and station locations being considered, as well as details pertaining to the environmental process. Residents will be able to see which areas might be needed for right-of way acquisition.

Fullerton is being considered for a station, in competition with Norwalk for the only other station between Anaheim and Los Angeles.

CHSRA is planning high-speed train service for travel between major metropolitan areas of California. The high-speed train is proposed to connect Anaheim to San Francisco in less than three hours. The Los Angeles to Anaheim high-speed train section proposes to travel adjacent to the existing Los Angeles to San Diego Rail Corridor from LA Union Station to the future Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), although OCTA and Metro are now proposing a shared-track agreement.

FTC Foolishness in Fullerton?

Fullerton's Community MeetingSo what does Pasadena, Parking Garages, the FTC, and High Speed Rail all have in common? Before you hurt yourself trying to figure out what they all have in common, let’s take topics of Fullerton’s FTC Specific Plan Community Meeting for $500.

On Monday evening, the City of Fullerton along with their partners from Walker Parking Consultants held their first community meeting regarding the redesigning of the Fullerton Transportation Center (FTC) to become a mixed-used transit-oriented development featuring housing, shops, park space, and many new restaurants. You can find out more about the plans and drafts on the Fullerton City website.

Overall, you can’t help but commend the preparedness and efficiency that Fullerton put on for this community meeting. The meeting featured great displays on all the tentative plans and plenty of outlets for public comments. The audience featured a great mix of students, bus riders, Fullerton residents, and city officials. Unfortunately, the sad truth of the matter was that bus riders and transit supporters who attended the meeting were surprised to learn about the proposed future of the FTC. read more→
