Project Brief

 
Dates: January 9 - 15, 2010
 
Plans are underway for a future Amtrak stations and passenger service on the FEC (eastern) rail corridor. Up to eight new train stations will be planned in West Palm Beach. The CSX corridor (Tri-Rail) and the FEC corridor must be connected to accommodate enhanced service. The public design workshop is to get public input on station locations, the CSX/FEC connector location, and how to make transit accessible to all.
