  1. Overview ACEC July 16, 2014

  2. What is Metro Regional Rail To Bakersfield • Manage more than 165 miles of R/W in L.A. County • Develop capital improvement projects and programs. • Coordinate with Metrolink, Amtrak, CHSRA, and freight. High Desert Corridor Antelope Valley Line LOSSAN Corridor San Bernardino Line Los Angeles Union Station

  3. Regional Rail Capital Program • Advancing projects address the following: • Grade Crossing and Corridor Safety on Metro owned right-of-way. • Capacity. • Community needs. • Advancing these projects: • Facilitates the high speed rail MOU. • Develops programs that are attractive for other sources of funding. • Benefits communities throughout L.A. County. • Benefits all passengers traveling within L.A. County.

  4. L.A. County Regional Rail Projects • SCRIP * • Doran St. Grade Separation * • Raymer to Bernson Second Track * • Van Nuys Second Platform * • Vincent Grade Siding and Platform * • Bob Hope Airport/Hollywood Way Station * • Bob Hope Airport Station Pedestrian Overpass • Rosecrans/Marquardt Grade Separation • CP White to Lone Hill Env. • Brighton to Roxford Double Track • * Denotes projects in progress 5 10 6 3 4 2 7 9 1 8

  5. Regional Rail Capital Program

  6. Program Management • The Metro Regional Rail Program is extensive. • Current construction estimate is approx. $842M. • Possible RFP for Program Management. • The Regional Rail team may need staff augmentation for assistance. • Will include: • Management • Engineering support • Overall staff support.

  7. Southern California Regional Interconnector Project • Extends at least four LAUS platform tracks to exit at the south end of the yard. • Increases station capacity by 40% - 50%. • Reduces GHG by 44%. • Creates operational flexibility. • PM/CM opportunity Fall 2014that will include: • Management • Engineering support • CM support

  8. Southern California Regional Interconnector Project

  9. Bob Hope Airport Pedestrian Bridge • Extends the elevated walkway from the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center to the existing Burbank Airport Station. • State STIP allocation of $7M. • Cost estimate is $14.2M. • Conceptual design part of the RITC EIR. • The Regional Rail team will be working with the Airport and Metrolink to develop this project. • An RFP for engineering is expected August 2014.

  10. Bob Hope Airport Pedestrian Bridge

  11. Rosecrans/Marquardt Grade Separation • Grade separates the No.1 hazardous crossing in the state. • Part of the BNSF Triple Track Project. • Needed for safety and capacity. • Benefits passenger and freight rail. • Updating the engineering. Project Area

  12. CP White to Lone Hill • Double Track • Env. and PE • 3.9 Miles in length • Eliminate an existing bottleneck • Provide additional capacity - up to 44 trains • RFP expected Fall of 2014. Project Area

  13. Grade Crossings in L.A. County Incidents at Los Angeles County at-grade crossings over the last 5 years Source: Federal Railroad Administration

  14. L. A. County Grade Crossing and Corridor Safety Program • Examine 111 at-grade crossings. • Develop an overall strategy to corridor solutions based on engineering, education, and enforcement. • Multi-phased program. • Extensive outreach to the communities. • Establish funding strategies to address crossing and corridor issues. • RFP in Summer 2014. • Will identify use of four Project Study Reports.

  15. Brighton to Roxford Double Track • Identified in AVL study as a significant constraint. • Second on the regional MOU priority list. • Will address grade crossing safety issues in the corridor. • Will facilitate HSR. • RFP expected 8/14.

  16. Brighton to Roxford Double Track • Adds a second track east of the existing track. • 10.4 miles of second mainline track • Sixteen at-grade crossings • Two single platform stations • Three pedestrian crossings • Retrofit three existing bridges • Two Phased RFP • Environmental • PS&E

  17. What is in the Future? • Develop an L.A. County rail program. • AVL study, • San Bernardino Line study, • Grade crossing and corridor safety. • Advance projects and programs that: • Enhance capacity, • Improve mobility for the region, • Provide safety benefits. • Establish the programming need in L.A. County: • Measure R, • Grade crossing funding programs, • Other sources.
