These studies include: <br />• Citywide Transportation Plan (RWC Moves) - Adopted by Council on July 23, 2018, RWCmoves <br />presents the City's vision and goals for transportation and identified and prioritized over 100 <br />projects to implement the vision. Projects include improved, multimodal access to Central <br />Redwood City and improvements to the Transit Center itself. <br />• Transit Center and Broadway Streetcar Study - A multi-year study for short -and long term <br />improvements to the Transit Center, as well as a feasibility study for a potential streetcar or urban <br />circulator (shuttle). These studies were presented to Council at their January 13, 2020 meeting. <br />• EI Camino Real Corridor Plan - Adopted by Council on December 4, 2017, the plan recommends <br />future land use and transportation improvements along the corridor, including an enhanced <br />"activity node" at the Sequoia Station location and access improvements to the Transit Center. <br />Creation of the Transit District advances these policy goals, requiring more complex technical studies and <br />decisions on rights-of-way needs, types of transit service, a train station location, and how they can be <br />integrated with future potential grade separations. Implementing a Transit District will require <br />amendments of the Downtown Precise Plan, including potential land use and circulation changes. <br />A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be developed with the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers <br />Board (Caltrain) and the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) to provide a framework for <br />advancing the transportation and land use planning work of the Transit District. The MOU is expected to <br />be modeled on agreements for station area planning work in San Francisco and San Jose with transit hubs <br />and Caltrain service. Staff expects that key components of the MOU will include: <br />• Goals for transportation, land use and funding, including increasing transit ridership, improving <br />local mobility, and creating a transit -oriented destination. This MOU will not commit any specific <br />City funding. SamTrans and Caltrain will be responsible for completing the technical <br />transportation studies, while the City will be the lead on the Transit District/Sequoia Station <br />review process, and local access and mobility. <br />• Descriptions of the identified activities, which include the completion of technical studies for train <br />and bus service improvements, the Transit District Plan and Sequoia Station development. <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />113 <br />
