UpdatesUpdated: 10/10/12The updated project schedule is as follows: MTA Board of Directors approval to award the Contract: November 2012 Project OverviewThe Curtis E. Green Light Rail Center facility serves as a cleaning, electrical, painting, heavy repair, running repair, inspection and wheel truing shop and is a light rail terminus for the J and K/T lines. It is located in close proximity to the Balboa BART station and supports heavy pedestrian traffic during peak periods. The Green Light Rail Center Track Replacement Project’s primary goal is to enhance system reliability and efficiency and result in a reduction of infrastructure maintenance. The work includes replacing worn storage tracks, special track work, revenue tracks for J and K lines, upgrades to the overhead contact system, the building of a new boarding island and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible ramp platform at San Jose Avenue for the J and K lines as well as some landscape improvements around the perimeter of the facility. Key components of the project are as follows:
The tentative schedule for the project is as follows: The project will be divided into several phases. The first phase of construction is expected to begin in mid 2012 and includes building a boarding area and ADA key stop on San Jose Avenue and emergency track work near the Maintenance Building inside the parameters of the yard. Subsequent phases will be scheduled upon completion of the first phase.
