Renovation Scheduled for Montebello/Commerce Metrolink Station

Montebello Bus Lines (MBL) in Montebello, CA, received approval for a $537,000 proposal to revitalize the Montebello/Commerce Metrolink Station with new landscaping. The station is the fifth of six stops on Metrolink’s Riverside commuter rail line, which originates in downtown Riverside and terminates at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles.

MBL manages the rail station and will oversee the restoration project.

The eco-friendly plan for the 7.44-acre site incorporates sidewalk and pavement repairs, replacement of grassy areas with sustainable landscaping, and removal of diseased trees. It also includes repair and repainting of signs, railings, and other metal structures, and the facility will be upgraded to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

“The Montebello/Commerce Metrolink Station is used by thousands of commuters each week and represents a gateway to our community,” said Aurora Jackson, MBL director of transportation. “We look forward to these improvements, which will not only enhance the station, but also demonstrate the city of Montebello’s commitment to sustainability.”

The station opened in 1997 and serves MBL and Los Angeles Metro as well as Metrolink.
