OCTA Weekly Update: Irvine-Corona Expressway tunnel, train grade separations, HSR funds

Submitted by Steven on 7 February, 2010 - 10:18am

OCTA's weekly update was posted a few days ago. Just a few highlights I've found interesting with my opinion in italics:

California Awarded $2.34 Billion In High-Speed Rail Funding.
San Clemente Considers Wayside Horn System at Rail Crossings: could this be another "transit" project to benefit homeowners in the area?
Orangethorpe Rail Corridor near Placentia and Anaheim to grade-separate 5 different crossings: could this be another "transit" project to benefit motorists in the area?
OCTA's still throwing a few million dollars away in studies to evaluate building a several-billion-dollar freeway/tollway tunnel beneath the mountains separating Corona and Irvine. I'll post more about this later.
OCTA will likely cut deeper into bus service in September. More about this later.
