Montebello City Councilman Jack Hadjinian
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY-Montebello Councilman Jack Hadjinian elected as
Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of the Alameda Corridor-East
Construction Authority. On the same day, El Monte Mayor Pro Tem Norma
Macias has been elected as the body's Chair.
The $1.7 billion ACE program in the San Gabriel Valley calls for
constructing 22 rail-roadway grade separation projects, where the
road goes over or under the railroad, and safety improvements at
another 39 crossings.
"I appreciate the support of my colleagues in selecting me as Vice
Chair," said Hadjinian. "I am confident that we can continue to make
significant progress in moving the remaining ACE grade separation
projects through the environmental, design and property acquisition
phases and into final construction."
"I appreciate this vote of confidence as ACE enters into the busiest
period ever in its 15-year history," said Macias, elected Chair at the
ACE Board meeting on April 22. "The ACE grade separations are needed
to eliminate congestion, emissions from idling vehicles and safety
hazards at crossings along the freight rail corridors through our
communities which accommodate about 60 percent of the goods arriving
in Southern California, the nation's leading trade gateway."
Hadjinian has been a member of the ACE Board of Directors since
March 2012. First elected to the Montebello City Council in 2011,
he currently serves as the City's delegate to the Governing Boards of
the San Gabriel Valley and the Gateway Cities COGs and to the Housing,
Community & Economic Development Policy Committee of the League of
California Cities.
Macias has been a member of the ACE Board of Directors since
January 2012. First elected to the El Monte City Council in 2009,
she currently serves as the City's delegate to the Governing Board
of the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (COG) and to the
League of California Cities.
Elected officials from the cities of El Monte, Industry, Montebello,
San Gabriel, Pomona, the County of Los Angeles and the San Gabriel
Valley Council of Governments serve on the seven-member ACE Board.
The ACE program calls for constructing safety improvements at 39
crossings and 22 roadway-railroad grade crossing separations. The ACE
Project will relieve traffic congestion, improve safety and reduce
emissions and noise at rail crossings while helping ensure the San
Gabriel Valley's continued economic vitality. For a copy of the ACE
