8.B. - Page 14 of 70 <br />Redwood City Transit Center Redesign Study <br />Summary Report <br />access features of the Transit Center underlies the need to <br />consider the redesign of the facility. <br />Figure 1 depicts the layout and components of the Transit <br />Center. It is located to the southwest of the Caltrain tracks <br />and straddles Broadway. It includes the Caltrain Station, a <br />bus transfer station, and three parking areas, one of which is <br />in the Sequoia Station retail complex parking garage. Transit <br />vehicle access to the bus station is via James Avenue which <br />connects directly to El Camino Real and to Broadway via <br />California Street. A lot of passenger pick-up and drop-off <br />activity also occurs on the Winslow Street frontage to the <br />Caltrain Station. <br />Project Goals <br />The primary goal of the Transit Center Redesign Study is to <br />investigate ways to improve the visual, pedestrian, and other <br />connections to the station, as well as increasing the efficiency <br />of the center's layout and design. It is intended that these <br />improvements would result in: <br />■ Increased use of public transportation and ease of <br />travel <br />■ Further enhancement of the City center as an <br />important local and regional hub for business, <br />entertainment, cultural resources, medical needs, and <br />government <br />Smith <br />■ New economic and social benefits <br />■ Improve bicycle and pedestrian access to the station <br />■ Reduced vehicle miles of travel and greenhouse gas <br />emissions consistent with the goals of the City's <br />General Plan and recently adopted RWCmoves, the <br />Citywide Transportation Plan. <br />SamTrans Buses Departing and Arriving at <br />the Transit Center <br />Page 2 <br />557 <br />
