8.A. - Page 22 of 28 Transit District Plan, 2020 (City) Summary The Transit District Plan will be a City -led, community -driven plan that outlines the land use and transportation network for the area surrounding the Redwood City Transit Center, identifies the community's preferred role for the center, and identifies a vision for what a new transit center would look like and how it would be integrated into downtown. Transportation planning will confirm the street grid needed to serve the area, multimodal access and circulation and develop a vision for a new transit center/train station. Land use planning will identify appropriate land uses, densities, design parameters, and phasing approach. Goals As a transportation and land use plan, there will be goals specific to each. Transportation goals include: • Train - Accommodate additional train service and optimize regional connectivity while maintaining an attractive station and connections across the railroad. • Bus - Plan for increased bus service with necessary supporting facilities and placement of stops to ensure efficient service and convenient access to the train station. • Bike and Pedestrian - Ensure that safe, comfortable, convenient and attractive pedestrian and bicycle connections and amenities are provided to the Transit District from the Downtown, EI Camino Real, and other major employment centers and neighborhoods. • Land Use - Plan for land uses at an intensity that supports transit, housing, youth and economic development goals. • Street Network - Confirm that the street network as proposed in the Downtown Precise Plan supports the land use and transportation goals described above. Because the timing of land use and transit improvements could be significantly different, another goal is to determine how space needed for future transit infrastructure would be programmed until it is needed. Outcomes Creating a vision for a new transit center will generate the following outcomes: • Confirm the appropriate jobs/housing balance for land uses within the center • Confirm the appropriate building heights and amenities • Confirm the appropriate street grid and multimodal connections • Confirm the appropriate parking ratios and extent of the parking district REV: 05-07-2020 PR ATTY/AGR.2020.071/SMCTA and JPB (Page 17 of 23) 185
