The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.

We already paid for it. Now you want us to pay even more ? I don’t want the Chiquita landfill, and I have paid enough already.
Abigail,
Your article has so much truth ! I am a 23 year resident of granada hills living below and in direct wind direction of odors from Sunshine Canyon Landfill. We as a group have been fighting for the closure for over 4 decades as Nodump.com and the North Valley Coalition. I generated a petition on change.org and have only 77 signatures to date. Also have contacted county supervisor mike Antonovich, mitch englander local councilman and city officials regarding our noxious odor problem increased since 2008-2009 when current operator republic took over. We report to the AQMD constantly and the dump received) notice of violations costing them 8400 each time now have paid over 450,000 to keep a dump operating that can’t control trash and gas odors that no one wants to live near based all the issues you brought up when there are other options available ! Would love to meet with you and your group and try to make a bigger stink against this appalling use of our backyards!
Great commentary, Abigail, and I agree. It’s worth a little extra money to keep landfills away from our towns, homes and our children. There are easily obtainable documents, all over the internet, verifying the damage that has been done to towns and its people caused by landfills, and the poisons they release all around them in the air, water and soil.
Chiquita has done enough damage to its surrounding residents, via health issues and odors, etc… It’s time to do the right thing and close it down as promised. For the sake of everyone living and working in the surrounding neighborhoods, towns and work places, it’s past time to close this one down…
Can’t agree more Abigail and Dana! Meg

It is held the second Thursday night starting at 7:00PM at Val Verde Park in the Clubhouse. Make sure to introduce yourself and let everyone know why you came.
Love to meet you too – thank you for reading.
:-)
Would love to attend and join forces against these mega dumps!
There is an ad on tv touting the ability of trains to carry tons of cargo for very little fuel/cost. I would like to see the numbers that make the train “too expensive to use”.
GREAT article Abigail!! Let’s hope we can get the SCV City Council in on this and stop acting like there aren’t any options out there. !! Keep up the good work! There is also a group called Citizens for Chiquita Canyon Landfill Compliance which will meet Feb. 8th at 3:30 in Val Verde Park. Folks can also like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/C4CCLC
