Overview

Built as part of the adjacent Canyon Valley transit-oriented development, the development will feature a Metrolink rail infill station along the Antelope Valley Line, a bus transfer facility, and a 613-space parking garage.[4] The hub is partly funded by a special tax district of adjacent properties,[5] and by grants from Caltrans. The contract awarded for construction of the train station was valued at $23.7 million.[3] City of Santa Clarita Transit is aiming to begin serving the facility in 2023.[6]

History

Initial planning for the transit center began in April 2010 and was completed in November 2012. NEPA environmental approval was obtained in June 2014. Pre-construction of the transit center began in September 2016, with construction expected to begin in November.[7] However, a series of administrative issues delayed initial construction to 2020.

On October 22, 2019, the Santa Clarita City Council unanimously approved a $1 million construction contract with RailPros to build out the Metrolink station at Vista Canyon.[8]

Construction of the station led by Icon West, Inc. began in January 2020.[9] A groundbreaking for the rail station was held the same day as the opening of the parking facility: October 27, 2020.[4] At that time, the station was expected to open in 2022.[10]
