Since <br />the cooperative agreement was executed, additional improvements have been made to the <br />SARTC commuter /intercity rail station, including but not limited to a parking structure, pedestrian <br />bridge, and an additional station platform. <br />With the identification of SARTC as the terminus station of the OC Streetcar project (Project), <br />which provides an important connection between the Metrolink and Amtrak services and the <br />cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove, a series of improvements are required to accommodate <br />the Project. These improvements include tracks, a station platform, ticket vending machines, <br />lighting, and the overhead contact system. The improvements will also include a traction power <br />substation at SARTC that was originally proposed at West Garfield Street and Santa Ana <br />Boulevard. <br />Given the above modifications that have occurred since the agreement execution, an amended <br />and restated Agreement is appropriate to: <br />25H -1 <br />
