TAIT to Provide Engineering Design Services for the Tustin Metrolink Station Parking Expansion Project
Project Funded by the Orange County Transportation Authority
SANTA ANA, CA – Tait & Associates, Inc. (TAIT) has been selected as a member of the design team for the planning and design of the Tustin Metrolink Station Parking Expansion project in Orange County. TAIT will provide civil engineering design, utility coordination and design, surveying, and mapping services on the design team headed by Watry Design, Inc.
“As a civil engineering firm headquartered in Orange County, we are proud to be contributing to the solution to our community’s traffic challenges,” said Tom Tait, president of TAIT, “We look forward to working with the team to deliver a top-quality project for the people of Orange County and the community of Tustin.”
The existing Tustin Metrolink Station opened in 2001 and is owned and operated by the City of Tustin. The existing station currently provides 318 at-grade parking spaces and 2 on-site bus stop/layover areas. The proposed expansion will increase the number of parking spaces to 825 spaces and will provide 10 to 12 bus stop/layover areas. The project will also include a new 5-story parking structure on the existing 3.7-acre parcel.
The project is funded with $17,600,000 by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA); funds from the State Transportation Improvement Program, Local Measure M and Proposition 116. Site planning efforts are currently underway with OCTA and the City of Tustin. Final design services are anticipated to be completed in early 2010 with construction to start by June 2010.
