Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility — Phase 2 Right-of-Way Vacations
Long Beach
Description
Eighteen street, alley, and lot segments in the port's industrial zone were found consistent with the General Plan so they can be vacated for the rail support facility. The City Council makes the final call.
Impact summary
Vacating these little-used industrial streets lets the port consolidate its rail yard, moving more cargo by train instead of truck — good news for traffic and air quality.
