She introduced Alistair <br />Baillie from the IBI Group and indicated he was available to answer Council questions concerning <br />the Major Investment Study. <br /> <br />Amerson noted the Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) Corridor Strategy included <br />expanding the bus system by adding 49% more bus service on the busiest routes, improving <br />Harbor Boulevard to permit buses and cars to move faster, and launching a countywide commuter <br />express bus service. She reported rail transit was to be improved by adding 1,000 seats to <br />Metrolink's Orange County Service and by launching the next stage of study for a light rail <br />system. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 23 JANUARY 20, 1998 <br /> <br /> <br />
