One main component of the project involves widening sidewalks to create a walkway along both sides of Alameda Street in front of the station. The pedestrian entrances to Union Station also will be reconfigured and expanded, according to an entry on Metro's blog.The agency will continue accepting feedback on the draft EIR through Sept. 25.L.A.
