Land Purchase Is OKd for Transportation Hub
The city’s plan to build one of the largest transit centers in Southern California cleared a major obstacle Monday.
The Orange County Transportation Authority approved an agreement to buy 13 1/2 acres between Angel Stadium and the Arrowhead Pond from the county for $32.5 million.
Plans call for the county’s largest bus terminal, a parking structure, platforms for Amtrak and Metrolink trains, and room to add tracks for high-speed rail, officials said.
The center will be owned by the authority but built by the city, which hopes to partner with a private developer. No cost estimate or construction timetable was available, city officials said.
