City Council Pushes Rail Improvements

City councilmembers Grant House, Helene Schneider, and Roger Horton, and Mayor Marty Blum were well received by rail authorities when discussing proposed increases in commuter service from Ventura to Santa Barbara. After rescinding plans for a full-fledged commuter rail, City Hall now supports more modest plans to reschedule Amtrak trains to better coincide with the work schedules of inter-county commuters.
