Planning Commission - Mar 5, 2026
The port needs 18 street and alley segments in the lower west side vacated to build a rail support facility connecting the Port of Long Beach directly to the Alameda Corridor. The project could cut an estimated 146 million truck miles a year, easing traffic and improving air quality. The Commission's conformity findings are a step toward City Council approval.
