Led by Supervisor and Metro board member Hilda Solis, Metro has commissioned a study to determine the cost of adding a Metrolink Station at the base of Rio Hondo College in Whittier linking the nearby Riverside-to-Los Angeles commuter train line.
The cities of South El Monte, Pico Rivera, Whittier, Industry, Montebello and the unincorporated communities of Avocado Heights, Puente Hills and Pellissier Village are part of a new task force examining the feasibility of a station that would serve the college, as well as workplaces including: Fed-Ex, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District Headquarters and the future Puente Hills Landfill Park, Solis said on Monday.
