8.B. - Page 31 of 70 Redwood City Transit Center Redesign Study Summary Report Phase 2 — Long Term: Perry Street Site For the long-term option in which the Caltrain station would be shifted a block north, the bus station would also be moved to Perry Street. This street is currently adjacent to a transit patron parking lot (Figure 5) that would be transformed to the Caltrain station area (Figure 6). Between Brewster Avenue and Commercial Way, Perry Street would be reserved for the two-way flow of buses, with other traffic prohibited. The left-most lane in each direction would accommodate moving buses, while each curb lane would provide space for bus stops. Those stops along the curb adjacent to the Caltrain station would use a modified sawtooth design; along the opposite curb, buses would stop parallel to the sidewalk in the conventional manner. As in the Phase 2 design for the existing Transit Center site, eleven bus bays could be accommodated. Although the Perry Street site is approximately one block further from the Downtown core than the existing Transit Center, it has the advantage of a consolidated configuration with the buses located immediately adjacent to the Caltrain platform. Arguello Street would provide a convenient location for passenger drop-off and pick-up and would also be a viable location for the terminus of the proposed streetcar/urban circulator. In summary, the features of a relocated Transit Center on the Perry Street site include: ■ Adequate space to accommodate Caltrain Business Plan's recommended alternative, Dumbarton Rail Corridor project, and high-speed rail ■ All transit functions occur in one area ■ A new linear bus transit center relocated to Perry Street which provides eleven bus bays for both boarding/alighting and layovers ■ A drop-off area for taxis and TNC vehicles on Arguello Street ■ Potential for a bicycle and pedestrian undercrossing between two sides of the tracks ■ The existing Transit Center site can be redeveloped ■ Creates opportunities for new development on the Perry Street side of the Transit Center ■ Displaces the existing 135 parking space on Perry Street Caltrain parking lot. Assumes the bus portion of the Transit Center, including the 90 space parking lot, would be redeveloped. Station parking at Sequoia Station would be well removed from the new Transit Center. A new parking facility would be desirable in the area south of Arguello Street, adjacent to the Transit Center. Smith 574
