A Metrolink train station, a parking structure, a walkable downtown that would make Old Town Placentia a lively destination to visit – that is what city officials promised merchants in the area back at a meeting in 2016. Six years later and there still is no train station or parking structure. Instead Santa Fe Avenue – a main downtown street – has been converted into a one way street with white concrete barriers after being closed completely for outdoor dining. 'I honestly didn't foresee us building a flood control channel down in Santa Fe street,' said Councilman Jeremy Yamaguchi during a study session on the street at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
