2005-06 – 2015-16 California State Rail Plan and governmental agencies makes this station a hub for locals and visitors alike. The station is also served by Fresno Area Express transit buses. Fullerton – Two major high-density transit-oriented development projects adjacent to the station were completed for occupancy in 2004. There are approximately 400 residential units in these two developments, and both include office and retail space at street level. Residents are eligible to receive free commuter passes through a Metrolink program. A conceptual master plan has been prepared for the UP Recreation Trail and Neighborhood Park, a one-acre park with a recreation trail from the station to Independence Park. Fullerton station is served by the Pacific Surfliners, the Amtrak long distance Southwest Chief, and Metrolink commuter rail. Hanford – This Central Valley city is known for its historic downtown that dates back to the 1890s and early 1900s. The main commercial street in the historic district is 7th Street, which provides a pedestrian-friendly connection between the district and the Hanford Amtrak station. This easy pedestrian access makes traveling on the San Joaquins a convenient way for tourists and school field trip groups to visit historic Hanford. The City is planning to extend the pedestrianoriented street network to encompass more of historic Hanford. Plans call for widening sidewalks, planting trees, and installing period street lighting and street furniture further north along 7th Street to historic China Alley. The project will effectively expand the number of destinations and attractions accessible by foot to visitors arriving by rail, thereby making the train an even more convenient option for visiting Hanford. The station is served by Amtrak thruway buses and Kings Area Rural Transit. Los Angeles Union Station – This landmark station counts the highest ridership in the entire State. Over the last decade, a vibrant transit hub has evolved where passengers can transfer between State-supported Amtrak trains and buses, longdistance Amtrak trains (Coast Starlight, Southwest Chief, and Sunset Limited), regional Metrolink commuter trains, Los Angeles Metro subway and light rail lines, local and regional transit routes, downtown circulator buses, employer and hotel shuttles, airport vans, and taxis. More recently, new businesses have opened to fulfill service needs brought about by significant growth in passenger activity at this station. For example, in addition to the traditional auto rental agencies that serve these travelers, “carsharing” vehicles are now available on-site by subscription on an hourly basis, thereby reducing demand for scarce parking spaces. In the early 1990s, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority built its high-rise headquarters alongside a transit plaza adjacent to the eastern entrance, and the Southern California Metropolitan Water District took occupancy of another new skyscraper to the south of the station. A new office building located in what was the south end of the station’s front parking lot, between the Metropolitan Water District Building and Alameda Street, has been completed. Two new mid-rise buildings are under construction fronting 168
Chapter XIII – Environment and Land Use Cesar Chavez Street. They will feature primarily residential condominium-type units, plus ground floor office/retail space. Oakland (Jack London Square) – A large, high-density housing complex was constructed across the railroad to the west of the station. To the north of this project, the Jack London Square area has undergone a great deal of transformation in recent years changing from a predominantly industrial port area to a busy retail and entertainment district. Also, major new housing and business projects are being constructed near the station to the east of the railroad. In order to accommodate increased ridership at the station, the Department and the CCJPA are planning to widen the platform at the station. The station is served by the San Joaquin, Capitol Corridor, Coast Starlight trains, Amtrak thruway buses, and AC Transit. The station is within several blocks of the Oakland-Alameda Ferry Terminal and the Lake Merritt BART station. Oakland Coliseum – Service at this station began in June 2005. This station provides a direct connection by way of a raised walkway between the Capitol Corridor and the Coliseum BART station. It will also connect to the planned Oakland Airport Connector train. Currently, the City is participating in a collaborative effort to develop an Area Plan and Redevelopment Strategy for the Coliseum Redevelopment Area. Due to the expected importance of this station area as a transit hub, the Area Plan and Redevelopment Strategy will explore long-range opportunities to create a transit-oriented district. Richmond – A pedestrian-oriented transit village is under construction at this station, a transit node where passengers can transfer between BART trains and San Joaquins or the Capitol Corridor. The station is also served by AC Transit and Golden Gate Transit. The residential portion of Phase I of the Richmond Transit Village is completed, comprising 132 townhouse units. The next phase includes an additional 99 townhouses, 27,000 square feet of retail, and a 30,000 square foot performing and cultural arts facility. In order to accommodate increased ridership at the station, the Department and CCJPA constructed a new center boarding platform at the station with a passenger shelter, seating, and a new stairwell and elevator providing a direct connection to the BART station. Construction started on a new Amtrak station building and plaza in October 2005 and will take about a year to complete. It will include restroom facilities, an Amtrak passenger waiting area, and an information and directional signage kiosk with an electronic display of real-time train information. 169
