� • � WHAT'S HAPPENING AT MY STATION?
� Beginning in August, construction will begin on the first three Blue Line Trolley
stations: Barrio Logan, Harborside, and Pacific Fleet.
Construction will last approximately five to eight months at each station. Once the first three stations are
under construction, the remaining stations will follow a phased construction schedule to prevent disruption
to Trolley riders. All stations will remain open during construction.
During construction, there may be additional noise, dust, or traffic impacts. Access for pedestrian walkways
and businesses will be maintained at all times. Per federal regulation, train conductors are required by law to
sound the horn when approaching and passing through an active construction site, even in a quiet zone, as a
safety measure.
� � � Once complete, improved station amenities will include new

�QUE ESTA PASANDO EN MI ESTACION?
Comenzando en agosto, contruccion se iniciara en las primeras tres estaciones
de Trolley de la Blue Line: Barrio Logan, Harborside y Pacific Fleet.
I La fase de construccion para cada estacion variara entre cinco y ocho meses. En cuanto las primeras tres
estaaones esten bajo construccion las demas estaciones seguiran un programa de construccion en fases
para evitar interrupciones para usuarios del Trolley. Todas las estaciones se mantendran abiertas durante
la constructi6n.
Se anticipa ruido y polvo e impactos al trzfico fuera de lo normal

NEW PROJECTS ON THE WAY
� Work is also going on throughout the Blue and Orange Lines for the
Traction Power Substation Project. During the next two years, over 20
TROLLEY RENEWAL traction power substations that convert power for Trolley operations will be
retrofitted or replaced.
SANDAG and the City of San Diego- in partnership with Caltrans, MTS and
community members-are working to make the San Ysidro Intermodal
� � � � Transportation Center a world-class facility. A technical study is underway
now that will review altematives for the development of a multi-use
