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]

Construction

Construction of the station led by Icon West, Inc. began in January 2020.[6] A groundbreaking for the rail station was held the same day as the opening of the parking facility: October 27, 2020.[4] The station is expected to be completed by 2022.[7]
