I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to support the development of a Capital Improvement/Maintenance Program (CIP) by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) at the twelve stations serviced in Orange County by Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) Commuter Rail. Relying upon field visits and coordination with city staff, the document highlights deficiencies and enhancement recommendations based upon existing conditions and future station area development plans. Parties responsible for station elements have been identified herein using legal agreements between cooperative parties including OCTA, SCRRA, Amtrak, and the local cities and redevelopment agencies.
Improvement items that may be most efficiently addressed on a station3by3station scale are detailed below in Section A, Individual Stations. Section B, System3Wide Elements follows, which addresses needs of stations on a system3wide basis. Appendix A provides visual examples of elements discussed in both sections. Appendix B contains an inventory matrix that comprehensively details the condition and responsible parties for all station elements, including those not in immediate need of attention. A minority of the elements evaluated herein fall outside the purview of this study, but are included as items of particular interest to a city or OCTA.
II. BACKGROUND In order to evaluate and rank improvement needs, existing operation and maintenance standards and agreements were first studied to determine where enhancements would be most beneficial. Information was gathered about the following set of station elements:
◦ Pedestrian access improvements
◦ Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
California Building Code (CBC)
improvements
◦ Station area landscaping
◦ Station buildings and lobbies
◦ Elevators
◦ Tactile warning strips
◦ Pedestrian, parking, bicycle, railroad,
and pathway signage
◦ Fencing
◦ Parking improvements, striping, paving
repair
◦ Public address (PA) systems and
electronic signage
◦ Shelters
◦ Painting
◦ Weatherizing of exterior surfaces
◦ Platforms
◦ Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
◦ Pedestrian overpasses and underpasses
◦ Trash receptacles
◦ Ticket vending machines (TVM) and ticket validators
◦ Canopies over TVMs
◦ Improvements for parking structures
◦ Bicycle lockers, racks, and storage
◦ Utilities
◦ Restroom facilities
Orange County Transporation Authority

Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
◦ Drinking fountains
◦ Benches and other seating
◦ Bus stop signage
◦ Bus concrete pads and bus access
◦ SCRRA informational phones
◦ Station lighting
◦ Tenant space and vending machines
◦ Information kiosks and display cases
◦ Closed3circuit television (CCTV) systems
and video surveillance systems (VSS)
Representative cost figures for regular site maintenance at each station have been gathered. The cost data contributed to the development of ranking potential improvement needs.
It is noted that the implementation of station enhancements frequently triggers upgrade requirements to related accessibility elements. Insofar as possible, these incidental expenses have been taken into account in the ranking of improvement needs, but further study and budgeting considerations are recommended.

III. RANKING AND PRIORITIES DISCUSSION
A. INDIVIDUAL STATIONS
Many improvement needs are best addressed on a station3by3station basis. The architectural and aesthetic themes of many station elements are determined by local cities, not by system3wide standards, and commonly fall into the category of small3scale enhancements. The following sections describe each of the twelve stations studied, detailing both the station3specific needs that are identifiable upon field observation and those enumerated by city staff members.
A.1. ANAHEIM CANYON
The station at Anaheim Canyon is anticipated to undergo large3scale improvements in 2014 that will add a second track, a second platform, and a pedestrian underpass. In the interim, the City is not seeking major improvements. The enhancements discussed below have been prioritized as those which would benefit from more immediate attention than the upcoming construction will provide.
Improvements that have been identified as top priorities are two safety hazards stemming from frayed steel cables and unstable seating. Ranking below these are the removal of a stone path and the repair of existing Changeable Message Sign (CMS) equipment. Lower priorities include equipment painting and increased commuter parking.
HIGH PRIORITY
At the platform shelters, steel cables serve to anchor the cantilevered shelter roofs. The majority of these cables have been installed properly or repaired to limit the fraying of sharp steel strands. One cable at the northernmost canopy and another at the southernmost are both fraying significantly and in need of repair to eliminate risk of injury to passengers. Since these elements represent significant risks to customers, the repairs require more immediate attention than other improvements at Anaheim Canyon.
The backless seating installed under the platform canopies has proven both ineffective and insufficient in quantity. The seats are difficult to maintain, uncomfortable, and prone to unstable rocking. The City, which is responsible for seating and canopies, has added higher quality benches to the platform to supplement the seating, but demand for seating continues to surpass supply. Recommended improvements include: repairing the instability of the backless seating or replacing all backless style seating, and installing additional seating elsewhere on the platform.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The Changeable Message Signs at the platform require replacement of missing parts in order to function properly. The equipment is planned to be addressed as part of the SCRRA Customer Information System (CIS) in 2012.

Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
A stepping stone path at the north end of the platform has been installed, likely by property owners to preserve the landscaping from ongoing pedestrian traffic that has worn paths in the slope. The path does not comply with accessibility codes and may present a tripping hazard; it needs to be removed or replaced with an accessible solution or barrier. At the south end of the station, pedestrian traffic has worn a significant path in the slope and similarly requires an accessible solution or barrier to prohibit access. The City is responsible for pedestrian access improvements and landscaping areas.
LOW PRIORITY
The City wishes to address other items for which it is responsible, including routine painting of trash cans and overnight security issues in the parking lot.
The City currently utilizes only 70 parking spaces for commuter rail passengers, far below the demand. Because the adjacent office buildings are primarily vacant, the City has entered into an agreement to use 30 additional spaces, but this temporary allowance may be revoked with 30 days’ notice. The City wishes to provide more parking to SCRRA riders than its $19,000 annual parking budget is able to fund and maintain.

A.2. ANAHEIM STADIUM
The station at Anaheim Stadium is anticipated to undergo large3scale improvements with the construction of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC). In the interim, top3ranking priorities include the repair of a hand rail. Of secondary and low importance are the repair of vandalized SCRRA signage and repair of trash receptacle, respectively. Of note is the proposed upgrade of existing station lighting.
HIGH PRIORITY
At the Track 1 side of the pedestrian tunnel, the hand rail has been bent askew along its length, may pose a liability, and requires repair. The City is responsible for both pedestrian access and accessibility improvements, but may not be able to address the issue promptly. Current annual budget for the City’s repair and maintenance of the station is approximately $10,000.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The two track and platform signs for train departures located on the Track 2 side of the station are in good condition overall, but each has sustained minor damage and is now missing a circular sticker identifying Track 2 as the appropriate departure location. The stickers on the departure sign located on the Track 1 side of the station have been damaged to a lesser degree. Although the City is responsible for general signage at the station, these two signs fall under a program managed by OCTA.
LOW PRIORITY
A platform trash receptacle is missing its original collection bin and is in need of replacement equipment. A small bucket is being used as a temporary basket until the repair can be made.
NOTABLE
The City wishes to upgrade the station lighting with more efficient equipment. The City estimates that $60,000 per year would be needed for two years to upgrade the station lighting, which currently costs the City over $9,000 annually in maintenance.

A.3. BUENA PARK
California High Speed Rail (CHSR) alignments are in development and may or may not propose significant impacts to the entire station in Buena Park. Approval of the Environmental Impact Report for CHSR is expected in 2013.
Repairs to the pedestrian bridge elevators and stairs are of highest importance at the Buena Park station. Priorities ranking below these include the replacement of three damaged signs and assistance with station painting and lighting. Lower priorities include adjusting commuter parking at local streets and upgrading station banners. Of note is a study at the station entrance.
HIGH PRIORITY
Both elevators at the pedestrian bridge are in need of weatherizing repairs due to rainwater leaks that cause frequent outages. In the three years since opening the station, the City has spent approximately $21,000 on elevator maintenance with additional funds spent on elevator floor replacement. The City is similarly responsible for stairs on the pedestrian bridge, which require repair. The concrete that forms the surface of the stair nosings is significantly chipping, although the nosing grips are in good condition.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
In a landscaped area less than two feet from the Track 1 platform, a track and platform sign has been knocked down and is in need of repair. At the Buena Park Station, SCRRA is responsible for platform signage.
Although the boarding information sheets have recently been upgraded throughout the study area to reflect SCRRA’s current logo, the sheets at each of Buena Park’s platforms are already missing, with only scraps of the new logo remaining. One of these signs is on the Track 3 platform and the other posted adjacent to the Track 1 platform. The upkeep of the equipment may be the responsibility of the City (if it is determined that these are categorized as general station signage) or SCRRA (if categorized as platform regulatory/informational signage).
The City seeks assistance with maintaining the painting schedule and lighting for the station.
LOW PRIORITY
The City wishes to shift the red paint on the Malvern Avenue curb to resolve the issue of SCRRA riders parking vehicles at locations that encroach on existing turn pockets.
The City’s identification banners posted around the station and platform are significantly faded and in need of upgrade or removal. The City may seek to improve the existing equipment, or may prefer a different, more permanent signage solution.

A.4. FULLERTON
Upgrades to the pedestrian bridge elevators are top priorities at the Fullerton Station and are currently being addressed. Enhancements to the adjacent overpass stairs are also of high priority. Medium3ranking priorities include painting and lighting maintenance and long3term tile maintenance solutions. Platform shelter upgrades, a pedestrian underpass, bird deterrent equipment, and station signage rank as lower priorities at Fullerton. Of note are mirrors in poor condition in Amtrak’s restroom and safety concerns to be resolved between the City and BNSF Railway Company (BNSF).
HIGH PRIORITY
OCTA and the City of Fullerton are working to improve reliability to the existing overpass bridge by adding a second elevator to each platform. The stair treads at the overpass are separating from the risers and in need of repair or replacement to reduce tripping hazards. Previous repair and resealing efforts have proven to be ineffective, necessitating a larger scale enhancement. Plastic and glass elements of the overpass structure are prone to graffiti and in need of upgrade. Overpass upgrades and repairs are particularly of concern because alternate routes between platforms are unavailable.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Since the City estimates it spends $70,000 per year maintaining grout and tiled surfaces for the station, a study is recommended to assess the potential for replacement of the platform walking surfaces and low wall faces with a material that is more affordably weatherized and maintained such as stamped concrete.
The City seeks to maintain the station painting and lighting schedules. Existing paint on the bridge is extensively chipped and in need of repainting.
LOW PRIORITY
The City wishes for enhancements including: increased shelter provisions on the platforms, preferably four3posted shelters; a pedestrian underpass between platforms; and bird deterrent systems.
NOTABLE
The southern approach to the station on Walnut Street lacks wayfinding and monument signage. The City may not wish to increase the visibility of this approach since the parking and traffic capacity is low and the route is adjacent to residential development.
The mirrors in Amtrak’s public restrooms are in need of an upgrade.
Ongoing safety issues exist relating to insufficient security fencing at the south end of the station, an item to be taken up between the City and BNSF.

A.5. IRVINE
The greatest need at the Irvine Station is an upgrade to the pedestrian bridge elevators. Additional elevator banks, an upgrade to the power system, bike locker relocation, and facilitation of overpass bridge work present moderately needed improvements. Lesser priorities include upgrades to the PA system; station paint color; parking garage infrastructure improvements and parking use alternations; rider drop3off area; pedestrian plaza; and security and customer information desks. Noted items include wayfinding signage to the station and the City’s interest in solar panels.
HIGH PRIORITY
The City’s existing elevators at the pedestrian bridge are weathered, slow, and in need of replacement. Among other problems, rain fills the bottom of the wells and shorts out the elevators’ power. A retrofit casing has been ineffective. Replacement of both elevators is the most significant item at this station, while installing a second bank of elevators is of moderate importance.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Existing power provided to the station is substandard and the City seeks to perform the necessary upgrades. Problems with the power system include flickering station lights and inconsistent power to the elevators and station building. Providing these upgrades may be further necessitated by upgraded elevators.
Half of the existing cameras on the pedestrian bridge do not function and require repair. The location of the cameras above the track right3of3way requires the coordination of track and time, permits, flagmen, scheduling with SCRRA, and an estimated $1,500 to fund.
If the City is unable to obtain loudspeakers for the PA system at Track 1 as part of SCRRA’s PTC upgrade project, it will seek other means of performing this enhancement.
The City desires to relocate existing bike lockers in order to provide additional vehicular parking. With 30 cyclists on a waiting list for the 56 current lockers, the City is also looking to increase the number of lockers.
LOW PRIORITY
Parking improvements that the City seeks include: an increased number of parking spaces reserved for tenants of the station and parking structure buildings; an upgrade of the parking count system with new fluorescent lighting and motion sensors; increased parking restricted for 903minute use of the station facilities and businesses; closing of the small lot adjacent to the bus bays due to accessibility and pedestrian/bus conflict concerns; and upgrades of lighting fixtures. Currently, annual parking structure operations and maintenance are estimated to cost the City $1,000,000.

Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
At the passenger drop3off area, the City wishes to expand the capacity of the zone, likely requiring encroachment permits into the railroad right3of3way. Additionally, the City prefers signs marking the drop off area and signs providing wayfinding toward the area. Between the parking structure and the entrances to the platform and station building, the City wishes to replace grass with concrete to improve pedestrian access. These parking and pedestrian access improvements fall into categories that are the City’s responsibilities.
The City wishes to expand its use of a new olive gray color of the structure at the station and paint over the older blue items including furniture, shelters, bathroom doors, the pedestrian bridge, and the finish on the main station building.
Improvements inside the City’s station building remain low in the priority ranking. The City wishes to replace its security desk, which is too small to effectively monitor the 19 existing security cameras. Amtrak’s ticketing counter is not compliant with accessibility codes and should be brought to code. The City also wishes for a staff person, paid by an entity other than the City, to attend the abandoned rental car desk and provide customer service engagement including rideshare information, shuttle routes, and advertising.
NOTABLE
The City wishes to install solar panels.
Although wayfinding signage to the station has been upgraded recently to utilize OCTA’s new large green signs, the northbound approach on Barranca Parkway lacks such a sign to direct motorists into the station complex. The parking structure is large, but the station entrance signs are mounted to the structure’s face at an angle that is easily missed from the northbound approach.

A.6. LAGUNA NIGUEL/MISSION VIEJO
At the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Station, operations and maintenance duties are shared between the City of Laguna Niguel and the City of Mission Viejo. The top improvement priority at this station is an upgrade to the elevators. Measures to reduce the need for ongoing graffiti removal, additional TVMs, and platform shelters present improvement opportunities of secondary urgency. Enhancements of low importance are the replacement of TVM shelters, station painting, repair of a station name sign, and adjustment of obscured monument signage. Items of note include upgrades to the CMS and intertrack fencing.
HIGH PRIORITY
The Cities seek to have the existing elevators at the pedestrian tunnel upgraded. The existing elevators operate out of date accordion doors and are frequently out of service. Improvements under consideration include elevator upgrade, replacement, and installation of a second bank of elevators. Since the operation and maintenance of new elevator equipment would fall on the Cities, any solution would be coordinated with their budgets in mind. The Cities’ annual operations and maintenance costs for existing elevators sum to approximately $14,000.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Due to ongoing difficulty the Cities have encountered with graffiti at the station, they seek graffiti deterrents such as anti3graffiti coatings and non3sacrificial coatings to reduce the need for frequent maintenance.
The Cities seek to provide shade to riders at Track 2 because the platform at this location lacks shelters. Unlike the smaller existing canopies at Tracks 1 and 1A, the Cities prefer future shelters to be four3posted.
LOW PRIORITY
The station currently lacks TVMs on the east side of the station adjacent to the platforms at Track 1 and Track 1A. OCTA and SCRRA are jointly responsible for TVM equipment at the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Station.
The Cities wish to replace the ticket area shelter covers to match the newer platform canopies. Existing cover equipment has experienced damage at the roof line and problems with conduit routing.
The Cities, which are responsible for routine painting at the station, wish to repaint the red curbs as well as the fencing at the station.
Two signs at the station are in need of enhancement. One of the station name signs on the platform has been bent back at the corner and is in need of repair. Both monument signs are partially obscured by landscaping and the Cities may be interested in moving one or both.

A.7. ORANGE
The highest priority at the Orange Station is the installation of shelter at the bus turnaround. Medium ranked improvement opportunities are monument sign lighting, tactile strip repair, platform seating and bicycle locker expansion, and railing and bulb replacement. Lower priorities include restroom and station maintenance, station painting, anti3graffiti measures, lighting upgrades, additional signage and storage, expansion to platform, and pamphlet holders. SCRRA’s replacement of a temporary mini3high platform and a third party noise study are of note.
HIGH PRIORITY
The bus turnaround area lacks adequate shelter for customers; equipment would be the responsibility of the City. The City also wishes to repaint existing benches and install bench arms to reduce loitering. An estimated $9,000 would be needed to upgrade the seating and shelters at the bus turnaround.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The City seeks to address detectable directional tiles at the boarding areas which pose a tripping hazard. The tiles have been installed in a manner that is not sufficiently recessed into the concrete surface of the platform, resulting in overly raised tiles. Another platform edge issue of secondary importance is the painted yellow stripe near the Track 1 platform edge that is significantly chipping and in need of replacement.
The station’s monument sign is currently unlit and difficult to see after dark next to the backlit sign for Ruby's Diner; replacement with a new backlit sign bearing the current SCRRA logo would improve this element. The improvement is desired by the City and falls under the jurisdiction of the City.
In the station building restrooms, the City is interested in the installation of a ventilation system.
The City wishes to expand the capacity of the bike lockers. A new locker design, one that allows for City3owned locks only and not customer locks, is preferred.
The City wishes to install benches at each platform shelter that is currently lacking seats.
Some of the fluorescent tubes in the platform shelters were observed to be extinguished and in need of replacement. The City is responsible for station lighting and may need to be alerted of the repair need.
LOW PRIORITY
The public restrooms require considerable maintenance. While the City currently provides for custodial service twice a day and ad hoc painting to address graffiti and grout stains, several other maintenance items are beyond the City's budget, including regular painting, improvements to the gutters, repair of dented canopy roof, and wire

cages around air fresheners to reduce theft. These improvements are not covered by the City’s $90,000 annual maintenance contract.
The City wishes to address other station items such as light bollards with light fixtures, anti3graffiti measures in the tunnel, and routine maintenance and roof painting at platform shelters. Replacement of existing lighting with higher efficiency fixtures may offer a preferred way of lowering lighting maintenance and operations costs.
The City is interested in pamphlet holders at the TVMs. Per existing contract agreements, SCRRA is responsible for the TVM equipment.
At the southern end of the Track 1 platform, a small seating area is provided adjacent to the platform. The City wishes to replace the rusted railing with stainless steel to match the rest of the station. Other enhancements that the City wishes to implement include posting signage to restrict smoking, acquiring storage space for the Transportation Security Authority, and expanding the platform.
NOTABLE
Although the equipment is in good condition, SCRRA may replace the existing temporary mini3high ramp at the Track 2 platform with a cast3in3place permanent structure.
Chapman University undertook a noise study to document impacts to their property north of the station; the findings suggest extending the platform. The potential cost and constructability of expanding the platform have not been studied.

A.8. SAN CLEMENTE NORTH BEACH
The improvement item that ranks highest at the San Clemente North Beach Station is a plan for improved accessible ramp connection to the platform. Medium priorities include increased seating, bus route schedules and holders for the schedules, and bicycle storage. Repairs to existing platform amenities are of similarly moderate importance. Lower priorities include upgrades to parking facilities, studying the monument sign and the parking lot, and the addition of a bicycle facility. The City’s planned signage program and interest in a rider guide are of note.
HIGH PRIORITY
Since the platform currently only has one point of access that complies with accessibility codes, the construction of adequate access is recommended. Between the platform and the crossing gate, the City seeks to shift approximately 100 feet of existing City fence and construct a sidewalk parallel to the tracks. Currently, disembarking passengers are routed away from the tracks and through the parking lot to safely arrive at the crossing, a route which many continue to disregard; instead, many walk a direct route over the tracks. The proposed accessible connection would route customers directly to the grade crossing, replacing an area of loose rock and utility access covers that currently exist between the track and ramp fence.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The platform lacks sufficient seating and the City seeks to install additional benches, particularly under existing canopies.
Since the station lacks bike storage, the City seeks to install hoop3style bike racks.
Other repairs include the City’s wish to upgrade station benches, tiling, and paint.
LOW PRIORITY
The current orientation of the City3owned pay station at the parking lot creates a line3of3sight issue for motorists, so the City wishes to have the equipment moved. The slope of the ground in certain areas of the parking lot is not compliant with accessibility codes and the dead3end layout at the south end of the lot contributes to turnaround issues for motorists. Due to the constraints of the site and other existing conditions of the parking lot, a study to determine reconfiguration solutions is recommended.
The monument sign serves both the station and Ole Hanson Beach Club, but the City may not be interested in supplementing or replacing the existing sign with another dedicated solely to the station. A study of a potential SCRRA3standard monument sign may be more effectively addressed on a system3wide level.
Adjacent to the station, a non3profit bicycle facility, Bicycles San Clemente, is operated by the Orange County Bicycle Coalition (OCBC). The facility is owned by both OCTA and the City, and is rented to OCBC for a nominal fee. Services offered include classes,
Orange County Transporation Authority

rental, repair, and equipment and refreshment sales. Locker units were built at this facility in a way that has not allowed for usage. The City wishes to install a bicycle facility equipped with showers and weatherproof lockers. The high capital cost associated with funding such a facility causes it to be ranked lower, but bicycle lockers are of moderate importance.
NOTABLE
Rider confusion concerning the TVMs at the station is common. The City is interested working with OCTA to produce a How to Ride Guide to ease passenger use of the equipment and alleviate confusion. The City is also interested in bus schedules and schedule holders for routes serving the station.
The City is implementing a signage program citywide that may alter or reduce the signage needs at this station.

A.9. SAN CLEMENTE PIER
The two top priorities at San Clemente Pier include the reconstruction of the existing platform and the formation of contract agreements for responsibilities for the platform elements. Secondary priorities are seating, platform signage, and parking. The existing signage at the station and the City’s planned signage program are of note.
HIGH PRIORITY
The operation and maintenance of the platform is not currently governed by an agreement contract. In order to determine responsible parties to be held accountable for the future of the station, cooperative agreements are required. The need for a contract impacts the entire station and is therefore of highest importance.
Amtrak/Caltrans Division of Rail has plans to replace the severely chipped and deteriorating platform, but does not specify an expected date of construction. The poor condition of the platform poses safety risks. The formation of contract agreements could expedite the repair and replacement of the platform by whichever party is determined to be responsible for future operations and maintenance.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Two accessible parking stalls are provided at the station entrance. The rest of the station parking, which also falls under the jurisdiction of the City, is currently not compliant with accessibility codes and must be addressed. A study of the parking lot is recommended to aid in identifying solutions.
Since the timeline for Amtrak improvements is undetermined, minimal temporary seating or shelter at the platform may enhance customer experience.
One small, significantly worn sign provides departure information for Amtrak service, but the station lacks SCRRA service and schedule information. If commuter rail service or schedule information were to be provided at San Clemente Pier, the signage would need to be uniquely tailored to the non3standard service provided at this location.
NOTABLE
The only signage that exists to mark the name of the station is an older, weathered sign beyond the end of the platform in the railroad right3of3way. The sign displays the words “San Clemente,” but fails to further specify the station as San Clemente Pier as opposed to San Clemente North Beach. No monument signs or station name signs exist on the platform.
The City is implementing a signage program citywide that may alter or reduce the signage needs at this station.

A.10. SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
An accessibility study is the primary priority at the San Juan Capistrano Station. Medium priorities such as station signage, garage lighting and paint, landscaping maintenance, bike lockers, and the existing drinking fountain are to be addressed. Lower priorities include extensive garage upgrades and station painting. Items of note include Amtrak signage and accessible ramp, the picnic area, platform security cameras, and a planned pedestrian grade crossing fence.
HIGH PRIORITY
Given the historic nature of the station, a study is needed to assess the overall accessibility to prioritize required improvements including landscape trimming at accessible routes. Accessibility items to be addressed include narrow station sidewalks, which must provide three feet minimum width with passing areas of at least five feet at every 200 feet of length.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Landscaping maintenance falls under the responsibility of the City and requires attention, particularly where it borders the railroad right3of3way. A study is recommended to address overgrown and encroaching trees such as the peppertree on the east end of the site and several tall palm trees which have proven difficult to maintain close to the tracks.
The City is interested in repairing and replacing station signage, some of which may be more effectively accomplished as part of system3wide improvements. Considering sensitivity to the historic district, signage and the clearance constraints at the platform will require a study prior to installation of new signage, particularly CMS equipment.
The City’s existing water fountain near the restrooms does not provide sufficient clearance to comply with accessibility codes. Since space for expansion is not available, removal of the equipment is likely required.
The City wishes to expand the capacity of the station bike racks and begin a bike locker program.
LOW PRIORITY
At the San Juan Capistrano Station, the City seeks both additional lighting and a lighter shade of paint for all ceilings in the parking structure to address issues of insufficient illumination. A study is recommended to determine how best to implement these enhancements. If funds were available for a more extensive parking structure upgrade, the City could install vehicular detection lights, similar to those at the Irvine and Tustin stations.

Painting needs at the station include light poles and railings at accessible ramps in both the Amtrak ticketing area and on the platform. The City paints the equipment every two to three years and seeks to increase the frequency of the maintenance.
NOTABLE
Amtrak is currently addressing its signs at the station which are in need of replacement.
The wooden accessible ramp at the Amtrak’s ticketing area requires refinishing and paint for the railing.
The City may consider securing funds to improve its picnic area and other aesthetics at the station including upgrades of benches and tables under canopies, replacement of irrigation piping to facilitate reestablishment of wisteria, restoration of concrete bollards, repair of a broken clock, and faded awnings. If seating is upgraded, the City prefers benches to tables.
Due to privacy concerns, the City is not interested in expanding video surveillance beyond the two existing cameras in the Amtrak office.
OCTA is currently improving the pedestrian grade crossing by adding a fence. Since fencing at the station is the responsibility of the City, painting and maintenance of the green/brown fence will likely fall under that responsibility.

A.11. SANTA ANA
Improvement needs that rank moderately high at the Santa Ana Station include an upgrade to the accessible surface lot, a lower cost solution for the existing tile surfaces, near3term tile maintenance, platform shelter, and upgrades to station signage. Painting and upgrades to the intertrack fencing and platform equipment, as well as station building improvements rank low among improvements. Two items of note are the OCTA bus bays and the waste collection program.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
The City’s accessible surface parking lot/loading area does not currently comply with accessibility codes and requires proper curb cuts and parking clearance. Other items to address at the surface parking lot include: the need for a sufficient number of curb cuts and tactile strips, expansion of existing curb cuts to accommodate strollers and luggage, and the need for general pothole repair, tree trimming, and restriping, particularly red curbs and pedestrian crossing areas. If funds were available, the City would pursue resurfacing and restriping the entire lot.
The City maintains and weatherizes the tile walking surfaces at the platform and at the interior and exterior of the station depot. Annual maintenance costs for these surfaces have proven to be financially burdensome. The City is open to engaging in a large capital maintenance project to replace the tile on the platform, inside the station building, and at the pedestrian plaza and fountain with materials such as stamped concrete. Such upgrades are estimated to cost $25,000 for the indoor tiling and $20,000 for the outside tiling. At the time of tile replacement, expansion joints would be added because the existing platform structures lack expansion joints.
In the short term, the tiled surface at the Track 2 platform has been upgraded, but the City wishes for assistance in maintaining this platform improvement.
The shade provided for riders, particularly at the Track 1 platform, is insufficient and the City is interested in providing more shaded area. The City prefers that larger, four3posted shelters replace the existing structures.
The City is responsible for signage at the station and is interested in $20,000 for improvements.
LOW PRIORITY
The intertrack fencing, which is the responsibility of OCTA and SCRRA, is in fair condition but would benefit from repainting.
Other tasks the City wishes to complete are: painting of existing bike racks to match the color scheme of the station building; upgrade of faulty and broken sprinkler heads; installation of additional drinking fountains and benches; and more frequent repainting of light poles and hand rails. Inside the shared use station building, the City is

responsible for and wishes to upgrade items such as the HVAC system, accessible counters, and PA amplifier system.
NOTABLE
OCTA Bus Operations is responsible for addressing the need for bus bay restriping. A fee of approximately $1,700 is paid annually by OCTA for the use of four bus bays.
With the planned expansion of the recycling program, a contracted waste management company will organize and may relocate the receptacles.

A.12. TUSTIN
Medium3ranking priorities at the Tustin Station are the pump equipment in the tunnel and bike lockers. Studies investigating newspaper vending equipment and security needs in the pedestrian tunnel rank low. A public restrooms and a parking structure study are of note.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
At the Tustin Station, the storm water sump pumps are routinely upgraded at the pedestrian tunnel. The City is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the underpass and may seek assistance in expediting the upgrade.
The station provides some bike storage in the form of racks and lockers, and the City seeks to expand the capacity of its bike lockers.
LOW PRIORITY
The pedestrian underpass is monitored by security cameras. A study is recommended to determine a preferred approach to safety and security at this location.
Another recommended study is the assessment of options for future use of the existing newspaper vending facilities. The equipment is utilized by a limited number of newspapers and demand has been decreasing.
NOTABLE
Due to concerns over security and maintenance, the City is not interested in offering restrooms to the public. Current annual trash and general maintenance costs at the station are estimated to be $5,000, and additional restroom maintenance costs would be a financial burden for the City.
At the parking structure, a study could be used to determine the feasibility of expanding the use of the structure to serve park3and3ride users. Since the parking structure is still significantly underutilized, the City is not pursuing gate arms or paid parking until demand for capacity becomes a concern.

B. SYSTEM7WIDE ELEMENTS
Many station improvement needs within the study area could be most effectively addressed on a system3wide level. Stations share similar and identical elements that require operations, maintenance, and upgrade. Implementing these common improvements on a large scale presents unique opportunities for streamlining of implementation which could not be achieved by an individual city. A summary of the top priorities appears below, followed by Section B.1, Platform Signage through Section B.3 Platform Elements, describing improvement needs in more detail.
HIGH PRIORITY
Station signage ranks high among priorities eligible for system3wide consideration, particularly conformity of station signage at all twelve stations. Further detail is discussed in sections B.1, Platform Signage and B.2, Station Signage.
MEDIUM PRIORITY
Moderately ranking types of signage are installed at a small number of locations. These signs vary widely in design, but would benefit from standardized designs and implementation. Signage marking the location of bike lockers, prohibiting pedestrian access, prohibiting customer actions such as smoking and littering, and wayfinding toward accessible routes are eligible for effective installation system3wide.
Tactile warning strips and painted passenger guidance vary widely and, in many locations, are in need of repair and upgrade. Instead of non3unified, irregular repairs, system3wide overhaul could achieve cost savings and uniformity.
Five stations in the study area are equipped with platform elevators, which vary in capacity, condition, and functionality. A study to determine a system3wide timeline for upgrade, replacement, and installation of additional elevator banks is recommended.
Light fixture design is highly dependent on local designs and therefore not viable to standardize across the county. A system3wide study could determine the feasibility of large3scale retrofit project for energy efficient lighting fixtures.
Signage that provides wayfinding for motorists from local roads and nearby highways to the stations has recently been updated at several, but not all stations.
Monument signs marking the entrances to SCRRA stations have been installed at many of the stations in the system. As a system3wide improvement, these varied signs could be studied to determine the preferred approach to move towards a standardized design incorporating the new SCRRA logo. Study efforts could also investigate monument lighting to determine where lighting and backlight improvements are most in demand.
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
24
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
LOW PRIORITY
Several elements can potentially be addressed on a system3wide level but are ranked low in this section because either the enhancement is not in high demand or addressing it on a large scale would offer minimal savings. Examples include addressing the varied parking area and general prohibitory signage; providing bird deterrents, station paint, seating; and a study of existing and needed drinking fountains.
B.1. PLATFORM SIGNAGE
Signage on and around platforms at stations in the study area exists to aid customers in navigating the transit system. Throughout the study area, the responsibility for improvements, maintenance, and operation for general station signage falls upon the local city. Responsibility for platform regulatory and informational signage, however, falls upon SCRRA at all stations except the San Clemente Pier Station. Improvements to signage installed directly on the platforms for informational or regulatory use will require coordination through OCTA.
B.1.a TRACK NUMBER MARKERS
Track number signage is primarily mounted on platform light posts and aids customers in finding the appropriate boarding platform by identifying the numbered track serviced at each platform. Since use of these signs is already significantly standardized, replacing older signs and providing supplemental signage where needed to achieve uniformity is a high priority. Appendix A, Section 13.a contains visual documentation of track number markers.
NO TRACK NUMBER MARKERS
Each of the stations at Anaheim Canyon, San Clemente North Beach, and San Clemente Pier provides one platform, eliminating the need for signage to differentiate between platforms. All other stations are installed with signage on platforms to identify track numbers for riders. The quantity of the signage differs by station, although stations such as Tustin have considerably fewer than average track number marker signs.
OLD TRACK NUMBER MARKERS, SQUARE
The stations at Anaheim Stadium and Buena Park have square track number markers that were designed as part of an older generation of signage and supplement more recent markers. These square signs are significantly faded and are eligible to be replaced with newer signage.
RECENT TRACK NUMBER MARKERS, RECTANGULAR
The majority of the track number markers in the study area are rectangular, each with solid stripes of SCRRA’s teal and blue along the top edge. As is evident in the photos in Appendix A, these signs are of varying ages and have experienced a range of fade and wear. Improvements may include replacement based on an evaluation of the condition of signs at each station, or a system3wide upgrade of all of this style of signage to match the design of the newest generation of track number markers.
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
25
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
NEW TRACK NUMBER MARKERS, RECTANGULAR
At recently constructed platform extensions at Fullerton and Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, signs of a new design have been installed, differentiated by a white underline of the word “Track.” These signs, which appear new and in no need of replacement, deviate only marginally from the slightly older standard rectangular track number signage at other locations.
LOCAL TRACK MARKERS
In Irvine, local track number signage is posted on platform shelters, supplementing more recent rectangular signage. Since the City of Irvine is interested in general update of track signage, these signs could likely be removed to achieve uniformity. The City of San Juan Capistrano is interested in replacing its location signs that mark boarding areas alphabetically along the length of its single platform. Since these signs are similar in size and shape to the rectangular numbered markers found throughout the system, a system3wide replacement of track number markers may be able to incorporate these unique signs.
B.1.b STATION NAME AND TERMINUS SIGNS
This signage is primarily mounted on platform light posts to signal the name of the station to on3board and disembarking passengers. Terminus signage, where provided, indicates the ultimate destination, and thereby the direction of train travel, to boarding passengers. Since use of these signs is already significantly standardized, replacing older signs and providing supplemental signage where needed to achieve uniformity is a high priority. Appendix A, Section 13.b contains visual documentation of station name and terminus signs.
STATION NAME ONLY: STANDARD DESIGN
The most common station name signage in the study area incorporates the station’s name on a metal sign with the SCRRA blue and teal stripes across the top edge. Signs installed more recently at locations such as Tustin are in better condition and have sustained less weathering than older signs at locations such as Santa Ana.
STATION NAME ONLY: NON3STANDARD DEVIATIONS
Several signs that are installed incorporate SCRRA standard themes in non3standard ways. The stations at both Anaheim Canyon and Orange incorporate signage with the word “Station” after the location’s name. At San Clemente North Beach, the station name sign is made of wood. These signs are generally in good repair, but may still be considered for replacement in order to achieve uniformity. A sign at Anaheim Canyon is both rusted into disrepair and is designed with non3standard stripe dimensions, but will likely be replaced during the planned 2014 construction.
STATION NAME ONLY: LOCAL AND HISTORIC TYPES
A variety of station name signage exists throughout the study area that does not adhere to any standardized design or pattern. Sign types vary in material between wood and metal, and among an assortment of installation methods and locations; some
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
26
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
hang from or are attached to canopies, others are mounted independently on posts. Since unique station name signs are often coordinated with local signage themes or bear historical significance to local communities, alteration to such station name signage would require coordination with cities.
STATION NAME WITH TERMINUS
Dual Direction
A few station name signs state both terminal directions on one sign. It is the most practical solution at single3platform stations, but at stations with two or more platforms, this approach may lead to confusion. Passengers may mistakenly interpret such a sign to indicate that trains servicing both, opposite terminus destinations board at the same platform where the sign is posted. Several stations appear to have abandoned this approach, painting over the text of one terminus to leave only the direction appropriate to the placement of the each sign. Improvement needs include repainting or replacement of dual direction terminus signage at Santa Ana. The two signs at the single platform at San Clemente North Beach are made of wood and may be of historical significance.
Single Direction
Signs at Anaheim Stadium and Orange have been upgraded to clarify terminus wayfinding. Instead of indicating both directions of travel on each sign, signs on each platform currently display only the terminal destinations that match service at that platform. Unfortunately, these adjusted signs are peeling significantly and in need of repainting.
SEPARATE TERMINUS INFORMATION
At the Tustin station, no terminus information is displayed on the platform. Instead, faded wayfinding signage exists nearby to direct passengers from the Track 2 station entrance toward platforms servicing trains bound for the appropriate terminus. Terminus information at Buena Park is displayed on the platforms via signage that appears new and in good condition, but deviates significantly in design from the standard SCRRA font and color themes. Supplemental terminus signage at both of these locations may be considered as part of a system3wide station name signage effort.
NO TERMINUS INFORMATION
Several stations in the study area lack terminus signage altogether. While the station at Anaheim Canyon is likely to gain such signage as part of the upcoming construction, the seven stations at Fullerton, Irvine, Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, San Clemente Pier, San Juan Capistrano, Santa Ana, and Tustin have no known planned installation of terminus signage on one or more platforms.
OTHER IDENTIFIERS
Although not mandated by the ADA, California Building Code (CBC) Sections 1143A.2 and 1143A.9 do mandate the use of Braille to identify permanent spaces of a site. Five

stations in the study area are marked with Braille signs identifying the station name. All appear fairly old and significantly deteriorating. Improvement needs include upgrade of existing signs and addition of Braille signs to the remaining eight stations in the study area. When new signs are installed, standardization of sign placement is recommended since signs currently vary in placement from elevators to mini3high platform markers to platform light posts.

B.1.c INFORMATIONAL
Appendix A, Section 13.c contains visual documentation of informational signage.
INFORMATION TELEPHONE MARKER
Throughout the study area, all SCRRA informational phones are marked identically with a standard sign bearing SCRRA's old logo. Uniformly, these signs are significantly faded and in need of replacement or repainting. One possible exception is a sign at Fullerton with paint in fair condition installed adjacent to the recent platform construction. Given the significantly standardized use of the signage, upgrading these signs with fade3resistant designs featuring the new SCRRA logo is a high priority.
TRACK AND PLATFORM
OCTA informational departure signage is provided which alphabetically lists each SCRRA destination serviced directly from a given station, as well as the track number where service to that destination is available. Since these directories are primarily used to aid customers in differentiating between service offered at multiple platforms, demand for the signage at stations with single platforms is low. Currently none of the single3
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
29
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
platform stations in the study area are equipped with track and platform departure directories. The remaining eight multi3platform stations are primarily installed with uniformly designed departure signage in good or fair condition, but one of the signs at Fullerton, one at Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, and two at Anaheim Stadium are vandalized and in need of replacement stickers. Train departure signage is lacking at the Track 1 platforms of the Irvine, Santa Ana, and Tustin stations; providing standardized departure signs at these three locations is of moderate importance.
BOARDINGS AND SCHEDULE
There are two types of boarding information directories installed on and adjacent to platforms: small pedestal directories, and large directories that display both boarding and schedule information. Since neither type exists at San Clemente Pier and since Amtrak has yet to set a date for renovation of the platform, the installation of boarding directories in the near term would aid customers in trip planning. On a system3wide level, keeping the signage updated and standardizing the quality of kiosks and pedestals that display the signage is a moderate need.
Boardings Only
Small directory sheets are adhered to pedestals painted with the standard SCRRA blue and teal stripes along the top edge. Although the informational sheets have recently been upgraded to include SCRRA’s current logo, several pedestals are chipped, faded, and in need of repainting. Since the sheets do not fully fill the space left on the pedestal faces by the previous versions, the appearance is less clean. At Buena Park, the new signage has been torn off.
Boardings and Schedule
Casings for the larger boarding and schedule directories vary widely in color, style, and condition. A few laminated boarding and schedule sheets are mounted on pedestals with no cover; one is taped directly onto a TVM. A historic schedule sign at San Juan Capistrano belongs to Amtrak and is supplemented by modern SCRRA signage, which is in good condition. Most of the display equipment is in fair or good condition and not in need of replacement. Replacing some for the sake of uniformity and adherence to the current logo may improve passenger experience. Installing casings or pedestals for the Orange station schedule signs would achieve more uniformity.

B.1.d PROHIBITORY
PEDESTRIAN DO NOT ENTER
A variety of signage exists throughout the study area prohibiting pedestrian access across tracks and beyond the edges of platforms. Some locations utilize paired symbol and text signs, while other prohibitory signage stands alone. Some designs are consistent with standard signs following generic Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) designs, while others follow SCRRA themes. It is recommended that this type of signage be improved by identifying a preferred standard sign and providing necessary signs either to all locations that lack adequate signage, or to each station,
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
31
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
regardless of existing signage. Studying the standardization of pedestrian prohibitory signs ranks moderately among system3wide improvements. Appendix A, Section 13.d contains visual documentation of prohibitory signage.
Small Square
Those which appear to be SCRRA standard signs are of three types: red and white “All persons are forbidden,” yellow “Do Not Enter,” and yellow “All Persons are forbidden.” A few cities have expressed concern over the small size of these signs.
Other Types
Several locations do not prohibit access, but instead direct pedestrians toward permitted areas. Other stations are installed with OCTA signs that prohibit both trespassing and dumping and display the OCTA logo. A few are in fair condition, but most of these are faded and exhibit graffiti.
A number of signs that mark restricted access areas are unique and appear only at single stations, but not elsewhere in the study area. Some are in good condition and do not need to be replaced, but could be replaced in order to achieve uniformity within the corridor. Others are considerably worn and are highly eligible to be replaced in the near future. In a few locations, BNSF signage stands alone and could be supplemented with standard SCRRA signage.
No Pedestrian Restriction
Station locations which lack signage to restrict pedestrian access include: the Fullerton Station Track 1 platform at both ends, as well as the south end of the Track 4 platform; the Irvine Station interfence, as well as the Track 1 platform at both ends; the Orange Station interfence; both ends of the San Clemente North Beach Station and San Juan Capistrano Station platforms. The lack of signage in these areas poses a risk to public safety.
OTHER PROHIBITIONS
The system is scattered with signage that publicizes restricted use of the stations. The signage designs are primarily local and thus not uniform, although a faded SCRRA standard sign exists in at least one location bearing the older SCRRA logo. Location, condition, and quantity vary widely, although most stations lack such signage altogether. Creating an updated standard SCRRA sign for all prohibited use of the platforms and installing it across the system is of low importance. A smaller scale improvement would be to provide the system with generic no3smoking signs as suggested by the City of Orange. Locally imposed restrictions, such as prohibitions on feeding of birds, would remain signed by cities.
B.1.e RIDER WAYFINDING
Wayfinding signage is mounted on various station elements – walls, fences, handrails, elevator structures – and aids customers in navigating routes through the system. The use of these signs is moderately standardized across the study area and efforts towards
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
32
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
uniformity of sign design and installation ranks at a medium level. Appendix A, Section 13.e contains visual documentation of rider wayfinding signage.
TRACK AND PLATFORM
Across the study area, wayfinding signs have recently been installed to direct passengers between platforms by indicating the path toward each numbered track. The signage is in good condition with minimal fading. The station at Orange lacks this signage entirely and a few of the signs at the Fullerton station have sustained some damage. Stations with only one platform do not require — and therefore are not installed with — such directional signage. Possible enhancements include as3needed repair and sign installation at the two stations mentioned above since the signage design is already standardized. Therefore the existing signage in good condition is not in need of enhancement.
WAYFINDING: ACCESSIBLE FACILITIES
Wayfinding signage toward accessible ramps and elevators at the stations is inconsistent across the system. Accessibility improvements, as well as general station signage and maintenance and operation of mini3high platforms, are the responsibilities of the local cities and redevelopment agencies. As a result, a system3wide program would work with these entities to create standard designs and placement locations for the signs, and to provide signage for installation across the system. Since CBC regulates accessibility to a high degree, incorporating its straightforward requirements into the standard is recommended.
Mini7High Platforms
The accessible mini3high platforms are marked in a variety of ways: some have wheelchair symbols affixed to the handrail, others are installed on a separate pedestal, and still others have ankle3level signage adhered to the concrete at the back of the mini3high platforms. More frequently, the mini3highs are not signed. The small square signs are of similar design, but are not identical and exist in poor to good condition from weathering. CBC standard signage should be adopted.
Ramps, Elevators
A variety of other platform access ramps are marked with CBC/ADA wheelchair symbols and wayfinding arrows leading toward them. A few elevators are marked with both wheelchair access symbols and wayfinding signage directing toward the elevators. Some older, significantly faded symbol and text signs appear to incorporate SCRRA design themes. While a few similar themes are prevalent, the symbols used vary across the study area.
MARKER: ELEVATOR
In locations where elevators have been signed with markers, one sign design has been uniformly used across the system. Although some have experienced mild fading, the signage is primarily in good condition. Elevators that are not marked with signage at the lower doors are located at the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Santa Ana stations. Upper level entrances to elevators lacking marker signs are located at Buena Park,
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
33
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
Fullerton, and Santa Ana stations. To achieve uniformity, the signage could be added in these five locations, as well as installed at any future elevator banks.
B.2. STATION SIGNAGE
B.2.a MONUMENT
The monument sign at the Track 2 approach to the Tustin station is backlit and bears the OCTA logo and the current SCRRA logo. All other monument signs in the study area are either lit from the front or unlit and bear either the old SCRRA logo or no logo. Many of these are anchored by concrete pillars and incorporate the standard SCRRA teal and blue stripes, but a few deviations occur at locations such as the Anaheim Stadium and Orange stations where the SCRRA sign is part of a larger signage installment. Improvement needs include: repairing damaged and faded signs, installing lighting for unlit and insufficiently lighted signs, or installing the new standard monument signs at all stations to match Tustin, likely necessitating the removal of existing signage structures. Altering of monument signage would require coordination among cities, particularly to address signs which may be of historical significance, such as those installed at San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente North Beach. These moderately ranking enhancements and standardizations of the monument signage may require a study to coordinate the variable needs and constraints at each station. Appendix A, Section 14.a contains visual documentation of monument signage.
B.2.b WAYFINDING: LOCAL ROAD TO STATION
A new standard OCTA sign designed with the OCTA logo has recently been added to direct motorists from the local road system to each station. The new large, green standard sign type has been installed at a few locations, but others are still awaiting this improvement. Nearby freeways, exit ramps, and local roads are frequently signed with standard green highway signs from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which offer more generalized information about the train stations. A few samples of an older, pink, OCTA standard sign with the SCRRA and OCTA logos are still posted on local roads, but most have been replaced. At Anaheim and Anaheim Canyon, where the older signs are still posted, the City of Anaheim is responsible for removing the signage. Half of the stations lack the new standard signage, including the San Clemente North Beach and Tustin stations, which lack all wayfinding signage. The installation of additional standard wayfinding signs is a moderately important enhancement. Appendix A, Section 14.b contains visual documentation of local wayfinding signage.
B.2.c BICYCLE LOCKERS
Some of the existing bicycle lockers are signed with marker, wayfinding, or rental information signage. Two signs, which appear to be a SCRRA standard design type and significantly faded, mark the location of the bicycle lockers at Anaheim Canyon. Additionally, an informational sign is posted on the side of the row of lockers with locker rental instructions. At the Irvine station, two wayfinding signs are posted to direct
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program
34
Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
customers towards bicycle parking. Anaheim Stadium, Fullerton, Orange, and Tustin signage provides information about locker rental. All other stations with bicycle lockers lack all forms of bicycle signage. Bicycle racks are similarly without signage. The installation of uniform signage to mark and/or direct customers toward bicycle storage could improve customer experience, but the off3platform enhancement ranks low on among station3wide improvements. Appendix A, Section 14.c contains visual documentation of bicycle locker signage.
B.2.d EXCLUSIVE SCRRA CUSTOMER PARKING
The majority of stations reserve some parking for SCRRA customers. The signs that identify the reserved areas are located in the parking areas and thus rank at a low level. With exceptions at Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano, these signs are similar in design, but not uniform. Signage function varies slightly between wayfinding and marking of reserved stalls and zones, but the latter is the most common type in use. Even where the zone marker signage is provided, the low quantity of these signs may contribute to motorist confusion; wayfinding signage is even sparser. At Anaheim Canyon, SCRRA customer stalls are additionally identified by striping text. Improvement needs include: installation of supplemental parking zone identification signage where needed, creating and providing standard signage that is to be used throughout the system in reserved SCRRA parking areas, and providing and supplementing wayfinding signage. Striping improvements of similarly low rank include system3wide programs for striping each reserved stall in the system and restriping several of the faded stalls at Anaheim Canyon. Appendix A, Section 14.d contains visual documentation of SCRRA parking signage.
In several locations, restricting stalls to SCRRA patrons is either not practical due to capacity and shared parking use, or not necessary where ample parking is currently provided.

Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
B.2.e OTHER SIGNAGE
Other station signage is installed that is less directly applicable to SCRRA riders and facilities. While some signs are designed with SCRRA themes, standardizing the signage is a lower priority. At parking areas, MUTCD standard signage that conforms in graphic and text appearance should be uniformly selected. Appendix A, Section 14.e contains visual documentation of other parking signage.
PARKING: ACCESSIBILITY SIGNAGE
Every station is signed and striped to mark the accessible parking. In some cases, the signage design conforms to SCRRA themes, although most provide some variety of solid blue MUTCD3style signage. Since the SCRRA3style signs are consistently faded across the system, improvement needs include: replacement of these signs with generic MUTCD3style signs or SCRRA3style signage, or replacement of all accessible parking signs uniformly in the system with signs of a standard design. Accessible parking signage is defined by the California Building Code (CBC), Section 1109A.8.8 Parking Signage.
In addition to individual accessible parking stalls, areas of accessible parking are often signed at the areas’ entrances, indicating penalty and towing information. Such signs also vary throughout the study area and may be eligible for replacement for the sake of achieving uniformity.
PARKING: MOTORCYCLE SIGNAGE
Some of the station parking includes motorcycle parking areas. A few of these areas have been marked with signage, which varies widely in design and condition. Faded signs could be replaced with standardized signage, or all motorcycle parking could be installed with a standard sign, regardless of condition of existing signs. Since Buena Park and Santa Ana motorcycle parking areas are designated only with striping, these stations could be upgraded with signage to match the rest of the system.
PARKING: ELECTRIC VEHICLE STATION SIGNAGE
Uniform signage exists to mark the electric vehicle charging stations at Anaheim Stadium and Santa Ana, but is severely faded in both locations. In Anaheim Canyon, posts exist at the charging units, but signs were removed at a previous date when units were out of service for an extended time. A small marker sheet is adhered to the casing of the one unit whose repairs have been funded, but no easily visible metal sign exists. Other charging locations include Irvine, which has spaces signed and designated for exclusive use by ZevNet ride3share cars, and Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo, which lacks both signage and full3sized charging units. Curiously, Fullerton’s signage exists, but the charging stations have been replaced with bicycle lockers. Improvement needs include upgrading and replacing the faded and missing signage at Anaheim Stadium, Anaheim Canyon, and Santa Ana, possibly supplementing Irvine’s private signs with standard signage, and resolving unique situations at Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Fullerton.

It is noted that accessibility codes require that a minimum number of charging stalls are to be reserved for accessible use, proportional to the total number of charging stalls provided.
PROHIBITED SCRRA CUSTOMER PARKING
This signage varies widely and appears to be primarily posted by local tenants. Without removing the private signage, the opportunity may exist to cooperate with tenants to provide standardized wayfinding away from these restricted areas toward sanctioned SCRRA parking, thus working to alleviate tensions with neighbors.
MISC PARKING: DROP OFF ONLY, BUS ONLY, TAXI ONLY
A large number of other types of signage exist at station parking facilities, varying widely according to the needs of each station. Zones for loading passengers, areas restricted for bus use, and stalls reserved for van pools are among the assortment of signage installed. Because achieving uniformity among the signage design themes may not be practical, a study is recommended to assess existing unique signs at the parking facilities in the system to determine which are in disrepair, which are missing, and which require additional funding to replace or supplement.

B.3. PLATFORM ELEMENTS
At each station in the study corridor, the train platforms are the responsibility of the local city or redevelopment. In the majority of instances, cities or redevelopment agencies are responsible for elements such as seating, canopies, and drinking fountains. As dictated by local budgets, these elements are in various states of repair and may or may not require assistance to achieve and maintain high standards of service.
B.3.a DETECTABLE WARNING STRIPS AND PASSENGER DIRECTION
As required by ADA’s 2010 Standards for State and Local Government Facilities, Section 810.5.2 Detectable Warnings for Rail Platforms:
Platform boarding edges not protected by platform screens or guards shall have detectable warnings complying with [ADA Regulation] 705 along the full length of the public use area of the platform.
The 2010 CBC, Chapter 11, Section 1121B.3 Fixed facilities and stations, regulates these warning systems, requiring detectable warnings and detectable directional texture at transit platforms:
Transit boarding platforms shall have a detectable warning texture extending the full length of the loading area.
Where the color value contrast between the yellow warning and the main walking surface is less than 70 percent, a 1 inch3wide (25 mm) black strip shall separate the yellow warning from the main walking surface.
At transit boarding platforms, the pedestrian access shall be identified with a detectable directional texture…with bars raised…from the surface…This surface will be placed directly behind the yellow detectable warning texture…aligning with all doors of the transit vehicles where passengers will embark.
Accordingly, all platforms are equipped with hard plastic tiles designed to aid the visually impaired. The tactile tile strips are uniformly yellow and primarily patterned with truncated hemispheres. Three stations are installed with supplemental detectable texture tiles at passenger loading areas; two are patterned to CBC code with directional raised bars, while the other utilizes truncated domes and therefore does not meet code. According to CBC regulations, all platforms should be equipped with these directional tiles. The majority of the warning tiles are edged by single black lines, and it is not immediately evident if existing color contrast values will require the addition of black strips to the remaining platforms in order to meet CBC requirements.
While several platforms lack instructional wording, others are painted with a range of phrases incorporating words such as “wait,” “stay,” “stand,” and “please” to advise passengers to remain behind the painted or tiled warning lines. These warning lines are composed of smooth rectangular tiles, simple stripes painted onto the walking surface, or raised reflective paint, and are primarily yellow, with the exception at Irvine,

Capital Improvement Program

Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
which is blue. At the Track 2 Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and portions of the Track 1 Orange platforms, the stripes are worn away to the point of non3functionality and need replacement. Existing configurations vary by station, some of which have differing layouts on the northbound and southbound platforms.
At the majority of the stations in the study area, the detectable warnings are the responsibilities of the local city, though OCTA shares responsibility at the Irvine and San Juan Capistrano stations. Although needs for near term repairs differ by station, an improvement for consideration is the upgrade of all platform edges to achieve uniformity across the system. For example, a smaller scale improvement could address repainting the passenger direction phrases to use the same paint and display the same phrase, while a larger scale upgrade could involve removal and replacement of tactile tiles. Upgrades vary in priority with the cost of each, but in general these system3wide improvements are of moderate ranking. A recommended preparatory measure is a study to determine how much uniformity of design can feasibly be achieved. Appendix A, Section 15.a contains visual documentation of detectable warnings.
B.3.b SEATING AND BENCHES
Throughout the system, seating and benches are the responsibility of the local city. Given budget differences, the condition and amount of seating facilities vary widely. Passenger demand often far exceeds the supply. A preliminary, moderately ranking improvement would be to repair and upgrade equipment in cases of severe need such as the unstable, backless seats at the Anaheim Canyon Station platform or the armless benches at the Orange Station bus turnaround. On a system3wide scale, available seating could be studied to compare demand between stations and rank stations based upon need for new seating equipment. Appendix A, Section 15.b contains visual documentation of seating.
B.3.c LIGHT FIXTURES
The light fixtures installed at platforms, station buildings, overpasses, and parking areas across the study area have been designed to fit local aesthetic preferences. Given the diverse designs and repair conditions present, system3wide savings may be possible in the form of energy3efficient retrofit enhancements. A study to assess the feasibility of energy3efficient upgrades to light fixtures across the corridor is a medium priority. Appendix A, Section 15.d contains visual documentation of light fixtures.
B.3.d PAINT FOR PLATFORM AMENITIES AND EQUIPMENT
Cities or their redevelopment agencies are responsible for paint at stations, as well as operation and maintenance of platform equipment such as waste receptacles, hand railings, fences, seating, and canopies (including TVM canopies). Repair and painting schedules vary by city, some of which are particularly underfunded. Paint colors are often unique and dictated by local themes, making system3wide painting projects less preferable. In some locations, such as a portion of the Orange Station, cities are interested in replacing painted equipment with stainless steel equivalents. In other locations, cities are open to moving away from burdensome painting themes and
Orange County Transporation Authority
Capital Improvement Program

Orange County Metrolink Station CIP StudyFinal Draft
toward more cost effective solutions, but lack the capital to make such a shift. System3wide painting improvements may be difficult to streamline given the number of variables that contribute to the condition of painted surfaces in the study corridor. Nonetheless, low3priority improvements that would benefit from assistance include one3time paint projects such as Fullerton’s pedestrian bridge, supplemental painting maintenance of entire stations, or one3time paint color/theme conversion projects. Appendix A, Section 15.e contains visual documentation of paint needs.
The interfence that exists between tracks is an exception to the above mentioned city maintenance responsibilities. The fencing falls under the category of “Facilities used for rail service & operations” in Appendix B, which is the responsibility of OCTA and SCRRA. Interfence repainting, installation of more extensive fencing, or upgrade of paint colors as part of station3wide paint projects would presumably be the responsibility of OCTA at most locations.
B.3.e ELEVATORS
Due to the high cost of installing and effectively upgrading elevators, achieving a high level of service throughout the system may not rank highly, unless accessible routes of travel become unavailable. On a station3by3station basis, locations such as Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Irvine currently provide poor elevator service and these cities are more urgently in need of repair, upgrade, and possibly installation of additional elevator banks. As a moderate system wide priority, a study could determine how best to monitor demand across the system in the long term, ensuring that a satisfactory level of elevator service is sustained through attentive maintenance and upgrades. Appendix A, Section 15.c contains visual documentation of elevators.
B.3.f BIRD DETERRENTS
A few cities have expressed interest in equipment to deter birds from nesting and alighting at platform areas. Each city would likely be responsible if equipment is installed. This low3priority improvement, while not urgently needed in most locations, could extend the life of paint on certain platform elements and facilities.
B.3.g DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Half of the stations in the study area offer no drinking fountains to customers, one of which possesses equipment that needs to be removed. Most stations with drinking fountains have equipment located in an adjacent station building or off3platform ticketing area only. Other locations have one to four platform fountains; two of these locations have both platform and depot building drinking fountains. Equipment types are wall3mounted or free3standing; most are single fountain units but a few are double units. These amenities, each of which is maintained by the local city, exhibit a wide range of design styles, as well as functionality and water damage levels. On a system3wide level, installing drinking fountains of a standardized style at stations that lack drinking fountain equipment or that require upgrades is of low importance. Such installation would likely be preceded by a study to determine adherence to ADA/CBC code, customer demand, and practicable installation locations.

21 Parking Structure Improvements City FS
The Tustin train station recently provided more than 300 surface parking spaces. In order to meet the growing parking
demand and accommodate future growth at the station, the City of Tustin worked with OCTA to design and construct a
larger facility. Construction of an 835�space parking structure began in October 2010 and was completed in late 2011.
Currently, parking is free, but the growth of demand will determine if or when the City pursue gate arms for paid parking.
