PHASE 2 s STATION AREA IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE DOWNTOWN TRANSIT CENTER: Task 2.1 - Prepare an Existing Conditions Analysis of the Downtown Transit Center The Consultant will prepare a consolidated data request list for both projects and will review the list with City staff. The Consultant will conduct an on-site inventory and assessment of current operating conditions and amenities. These will include all features of the station site such as passenger shelters, benches, light fixtures, transit information displays, pay and emergency phones, fare equipment and parking revenue equipment, parking spaces by type, bus bays and areas for taxis, shuttles, etc. , and bicycle parking provisions by type. A walking tour of the station with City, Caltrain, and SamTrans staff is also proposed as a means of gathering more information as to how the station currently functions and discussing possible improvements. Deliverables: Data needs list, existing conditions evaluation memorandum Task 2.2 - Planning for Station Amenities It will be important to work with the project team including SamTrans and Caltrain to identify those amenities that should be included as part of the station development plan. Based on the collaboration and site review with the City and the transit providers, a listing and plan for future enhancement of station amenities would be prepared. Urban design guidance will be provided as to how best of incorporate the desired amenities and achieve the guiding principles as defined by the team . Deliverables: Station amenities memorandum Task 23 — Downtown Transit Center Connection Improvements The Consultant will work together to formulate two to three alternative site plan concepts for the transit center and surrounding area. These concepts may include phases to address the steps involved in the implementation of the blended Caltrain/HSR program and the streetcar/urban circulator. The concepts will then be reviewed and evaluated in terms of their ability to meet the guiding principles identified in Task 2.2. The evaluation will include transit connectivity, transit capacity, cost estimates, potential benefits, consistency with current plans such as the Downtown Precise Plan, impacts on adjacent land uses, traffic circulation, pedestrian and bicycle service quality and safety, and visual attributes. Other considerations will be operating costs, ADA requirements, and funding. The Consultant will coordinate a meeting with the City, SamTrans, and Caltrain to review and critique the concepts. Site plans and sketches will be provided to help visualize each concept. Functional diagrams will indicate the flows of pedestrians/bicyclists, transit vehicles, private passenger cars, taxis, and shuttles. Based upon the evaluation and team review of the alternatives, a preferred concept will emerge either as a refined version of one of the concepts or a hybrid of the best ideas from several concepts. The Consultant will participate in sharing the results of this work with key stakeholders. Deliverables: Station improvements and visual integration memorandum ATTY/AGR.2016.053/CDM Smith
