This feasibility study is meant to explore the importance of the location of the Bayshore Caltrain station in light of future growth assumptions and transportation and land use objectives in the surrounding area. A central element of this study is to consider the feasibility and impacts and/or benefits of relocating the Bayshore Caltrain station either to the north or to the south. The purpose of relocating and redesigning the station is to transform it into an intermodal hub – connecting Bus Rapid Transit (“BRT”), light rail (“LRT”), local bus service, and pedestrian/bicycle access – which will help to achieve a range of policy goals for the southeast neighborhoods of San Francisco, the city at-large, and region. The product of this study will be analyses and a conceptual station design useful for: making prudent decisions regarding the future location of the Bayshore Caltrain station that considers an exhaustive list of related items; determining appropriate next steps for implementing an intermodal Bayshore Caltrain station; and, serving as a basis for seeking support and funding from potential partners. |
