NORTH HOLLYWOOD - The Los Angeles Metropolitan Authority (Metro)
recently announced the start of a major restoration project on the
Historic Southern Pacific Lankershim/North Hollywood train depot to
rehabilitate the facility over the coming year.
The
$3.6 million restoration project, slated for completion in 10 months,
will be funded by Metro using $2.5 million in Prop. C half-cent sales
tax dollars and $1.1 million from the City of Los Angeles.
The
reconstruction work will include the seismic strengthening of the
structure, new electric and plumbing systems, restoration of the
platforms and signage as well as rehabilitation of the damaged siding,
eaves, windows and doors.
The
first phase of the work has already been completed - that included the
removal of contaminated soils, roofing and lead-based paint throughout
the structure, while repainting it with the original, vibrant Pacific
Electric yellow paint colors.
Dating
back to 1896, the 117-year-old train depot, located in the heart of the
North Hollywood Arts District, is one of the oldest unmodified railroad
structures in Southern California. For more information about the
project visit the Metro blog, thesource.metro.net.
