Santa Ana : Restaurant Sought for Transportation Center
City officials are seeking a final tenant, a restaurant operator, for their 15-month-old Regional Transportation Center, a Spanish-style train and bus station in the city’s industrial quarter.
Center manager Bill Liebel said the city hopes to attract a restaurant that will be open seven days a week and provide some night life for the $17-million facility. He said the restaurant would be on the ground floor of the building, just off a central rotunda, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
Liebel said the city is seeking proposals for the 64,000-square-foot space from about 50 firms, with the final selection to be made by the City Council.
The transit facility, which opened in September, 1985, at 1000 E. Santa Ana Blvd., houses an Amtrak station and serves about 500,000 people a year through bus, rail, taxi and airport shuttle services. Liebel said the three second-floor offices have been leased.
