The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Board approved a budget of $30 million for a project that will add pedestrian gates on both sides of the tracks at 27 LACMTA and Union Pacific intersections along the Blue Line.

 

The agreement will allow LACMTA and its contractors entry on UP property to install and maintain certain improvements needed for the pedestrian gates project. This agreement will also obligate UP to perform and maintain certain work needed.

The work to be performed by UP includes signal design of the automatic pedestrian gates and installation of the grade-crossing panels and the automatic pedestrian gates at 23 specified crossings.
