BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ALAMEDA CORRIDOR TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (ACTA) for an order authorizing the reconstruction of two existing at-grade railroad/highway crossings (CPUC numbers BG-492.80 and BG-490.90) along the new ACTA By-Pass Track in the County of Los Angeles, and the cities of Compton and Lynwood, California. |

Summary
Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) requests authority to reconstruct two existing at-grade highway-railroad crossings along the ACTA By-Pass Track. The first crossing is in the County of Los Angeles and the City of Compton at the intersection of 134th Street/Pine Avenue with Alameda Street. The second crossing is in the City of Lynwood at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Century Boulevard with Alameda Street. The Alameda Corridor consolidates 90 miles of existing trackage into a new rail corridor that is entirely grade separated. The Alameda Corridor greatly reduces present vehicular delays and provides improved goods movement without the adverse consequences of increased future freight rail traffic while at the same time sustaining economic growth. The By-Pass track provides freight train service to local industries in the immediate area adjacent to the Alameda Corridor.
