Council Hears Opinions on Light Rail System
The City Council heard residents’ views Tuesday on a proposal to join Santa Ana and Costa Mesa in pushing for a light rail system through the three cities’ business districts.
Supporters said such a system would be good for students and seniors, but opponents said it would be a blight on neighborhoods.
The CenterLine, envisioned as a 30-mile rail link between Irvine and Anaheim, was shelved earlier this year for lack of support from communities along the route. Irvine, Santa Ana and Costa Mesa are reviving the idea in a version that serves their three cities.
