Fullerton is included as one of the locations. Since the City owns the property (leases the building to Amtrak), the City is responsible to complete the improvements. Improvements are expected to include upgrades to the building and restroom, directional signage, parking stalls, signage, removal of obstructions, curb ramps, path of travel slopes, handrail modifications, etc. Improvements will be phased over three years.
