Worried about the impact on residents in East LA, the city council is asking the California High Speed Rail Authority to consider two alternatives for the Union Station stop for the proposed high-speed train that'll go from San Francisco to San Diego, reports the LA Times. "The two alternatives are an aerial stop at Union Station where the bullet train would be stacked above Metrolink tracks, or a stop on the east side of Patsaouras Transit Plaza, along Vignes Street. A city planner said the second option could minimize intrusions into communities north and south." [LA Times]
