Putting the finishing touches on a renovated train station, the Los Angeles City Council agreed Wednesday to add 130 parking spaces at the Van Nuys Amtrak/Metrolink depot.
The station, the busiest in the San Fernando Valley, has undergone a major make-over during the past four years, blossoming from a desolate spot featuring little more than a bench into a $5.5-million station with restrooms, vending machines, a waiting room and an 800-foot train platform. It serves more than 300 passengers per day, said Helene Jacobs, a planner at the city's Department of Transportation.
