OCTA will host light rail open house

The Orange County Transportation Authority will host an open house

in Costa Mesa on Tuesday to provide the public with information and

to answer questions on the CenterLine light rail project.

The public open houses are part of a process called preliminary

engineering for the planned 11.4-mile CenterLine project that will

run from downtown Santa Ana through the South Coast Plaza area to

John Wayne Airport and ends at UC Irvine.

The preliminary engineering phase of CenterLine provides

information for route alignment, station locations and types of

vehicle technology, and develops a strong, detailed financial plan

for the project.

Residents and business people can attend the open house at the

Hilton Hotel, 3050 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday. Parking costs will be validated at the hotel.
