the Gateway Intermodal Transit Center links nearly every means of ground transportation — buses, subways, Amtrak, light rail, and the Metrolink commuter line, together with a 3,000-car park-and-ride facility — returning this neglected location to its origins as the grand portal to Los Angeles. Convenience and access were wanted, but was the desire to create a first-class environment and a compelling hub for the district. The plan responded with a design that recalls the civic architecture of the world’s great railway stations.
