Idea for Metrolink station in Highgrove gets more time
10:00 PM PST on Thursday, January 18, 2007
The Press-Enterprise

Those who want a Metrolink station built in Highgrove will get more time to make their case to San Bernardino County transportation officials.

A staff recommendation to a San Bernardino Associated Governments subcommittee had recommended that the agency decline to participate in building a station in the area just south of the Riverside/San Bernardino county line.

The Riverside County Transportation Commission voted last week not to take part in the project.

But members of the Commuter Rail subcommittee agreed Thursday to continue to discuss the matter at its next meeting in March after station proponents asked for an opportunity to present more information to SANBAG. Grand Terrace Councilwoman LeeAnn Garcia, a member of the subcommittee, also said she wanted several questions answered to before taking a vote.

Reports from both agencies said the project would cost at least $15 million and serve as few as 117 riders.
