洛杉矶联盟站(Laus)正在考虑为Metrolink和Amtrak火车添加新的南部入口/出口,并建立一个新的扩大客厅大厅。Link Union Station项目(Link US)将通过在US-101高速公路上扩展南部的轨道来将历史悠久的LAU从“Stub-End,”或死端站转换为“贯通”站,导致南方南部的轨道延伸,导致减少乘客等待时间。

估计的20亿美元加上项目还将添加一个新的循环轨迹,以提高铁路服务的操作灵活性。项目官员表示,这些修改将“大大提升车站的效率,使Laus能够继续作为当地,区域和州际交通工具的主要枢纽。”

新的大厅将取代Metrolink,Amtrak和Gold Line Track下的当前隧道。目前的隧道显示年龄的迹象,易于过度拥挤,缺乏乘客设施。

There are two options on the design table for the concourse. One would sit above the tracks and the other would sit just below the tracks. Metro released a couple of concept videos showcasing both design ideas.

超过了三年级的视频显示了上面的广场the tracks would connect with new passenger platforms, Union Station, Patsaouras Bus Plaza and potential transit and retail amenities throughout the concourse. The design features modern architecture hovering above, with glass-filled walkways, sweeping staircases and panoramic passenger platforms.

The more recent at-grade video shows beautiful courtyards and lawns leading to passenger platforms, escalators, elevators and walkways lined with shops and amenities.

这两种设计可能会发生变化,是在项目的环境研究草案中录取和分析的概念展示草案草案,这是今年晚些时候发布的。新利18备用预计将在2018年第一季度释放新的环境影响声明/环境影响报告(EIS / EIR)。将准备最终EIS / EIR,并通过认证决策(ROD)/ EIR认证的预期记录到2018年第四季度。

Whichever design is chosen, the project will be made up of several key components, including:

  • 通过US-101高速公路的新贯穿轨道,为加利福尼亚州南部的主要目的地提供一个座位
  • 重新配置“喉部”(站进入轨道)和“轨道码”(站抵达和登机区)
  • 与零售,食品服务,客人等候区和其他设施的新客栈
  • 住宿未来的交通选择,包括西圣安娜分支轻轨运输走廊项目和加州高速铁路(HSR)

The project’s current planning and environmental phase is fully funded through Measure R, State Proposition 1B, and the FRA American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in coordination with California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA.) CHSRA has contributed $18.72 million to the planning and environmental phase of this project. The source of funding for the final design and construction phase has not been determined or secured.
