Engineering Contract OKd for CenterLine
Transportation leaders advanced the CenterLine project Monday by awarding a $38-million contract for preliminary engineering work on the proposed light-rail system from Irvine to Santa Ana.
The board of the Orange County Transportation Authority hired Parsons Brinckerhoff, a Southern California engineering firm, for the work on the 15-mile rail line. Parsons was among three finalists.
“This is a milestone in the process,” said Tim Keenan, vice chairman of the OCTA board. “This will begin to put the lines on the map. It is an important first step.”
