with AMTRAK on October 26, 1982, and expended an amount estimated
at $1,300,000 to construct a rail passenger station as an
integral part of the City-owned spQrts complex and land
contiguous thereto; and
WHEREAS, the ridership at this station has grown to
make it one of the highest ridership stations along the Los
Angeles-San Diego (LOSSAN) rail corridor; and

will further increase, as the Southern California Regional Rail
Authority (SCRRA) will be increasing commuter rail service along
the LOSSAN rail corridor to nine additional trains as ridership
warrants; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim obtained a discretionary
grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District to
implement Line 352, operated by the Orange County Transportation
Authority, to connect the rail station with major employers in
the area; and
WHEREAS, ongoing construction of a second track along
the LOSSAN corridor by SCRRA will further enhance commuter rail
operations; and
WHEREAS, the second track construction will include
demolition of the station platform south of the existing track,
and SCRRA should provide for service during construction via a
northside platform and pedestrian underpass to connect the
station with a new northside platform to meet the requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; and
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim has prepared final
engineering plans for these improvements as part of area planning
and Transit Capital Improvement (TCI) funding application; and
WHEREAS, the City proposes to use the $1,741,000 for
Fiscal Year 1994-95 for construction of a second platform to
replace the demolished platform south of the existing track;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
