Parking options at the Laguna Niguel / Mission Viejo Metrolink Station have increased substantially thanks to a new 176-space lot. Located just south of the existing lot, it brings the number of existing parking spaces at this location to 460. The lot will open to the public on Oct. 30, 2013.
Completed on schedule, the new lot was built on OCTA-owned property. It will be maintained by the cities of Laguna Niguel and Mission Viejo.
Other improvements are also in the works. Design plans have begun for adding Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant ramps to replace the elevators at the existing pedestrian underpass.
The project may also include a restroom and a vending machine area that will occupy the existing elevator rooms. Construction on this phase of the project is expected to begin in early 2015 and be completed in fall of that year. The underpass will remain open during construction.
