THSR Yilan line proposal sent to MOTC: bureauNO DESTINATION YET: Four sites for a terminal station were proposed. Prior to the publication of the final report, the Yilan County Government sent a letter to the bureau suggesting that the terminal station be at a TRA station planned for near Yilan County Hall, which is not scheduled to be built until 2030. The town, which is in the center of the Lanyang Plain, has a complete infrastructure nearby and is close to the county hall, the Yilan County Council Building and the Yilan Science Park, it said. A THSR line to the station there would boost urban development as well as the growth of the high-tech industry there, it said. Travel time to any of the four proposed stations would be about the same, so it would not be a factor in the final decision, the bureau said.
