I mentioned it would be the Grand Central station of the west. Why . This center will be a place where people can board high speed rail trains as part of californias high speed rail system.

Once the entrance bay Transit Center is complete, it will bring 11 transit systems together under one roof, meaning more convenience for commuters and more efficiency for workers and more growth for our city.
