Serra Siding Extension Project
Serra Siding Extension Project
Metrolink, in coordination with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), is proposing to extend 1.2 miles of railroad track in Dana Point. The siding track would be constructed adjacent to the existing main track and extend from Victoria Boulevard south to the rail crossing at Beach Road. The proposed project would reduce delays, increase safety, and provide more reliable service.
Project Overview
The project is in the environmental review and preliminary design phase. The Notice of Preparation (NOP), which contains a description of the project, is available on Metrolink’s website.
Prior to releasing the draft environmental document, Metrolink and OCTA are reviewing the proposed Serra Siding Extension Project, including how it would operate and potential environmental impacts, to ensure community concerns are adequately addressed.
There is not a specific timeline to release the draft environmental document. The environmental review of the project is moving forward because it is an important part of the long-term plan to improve passenger rail service in Southern California.
