Mott MacDonald | RWC GSP and 4-Track Hub Station Planning <br />WDPR 11680 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 4 of 13 <br />corridor and the levels of disruption to services acceptable during construction; <br />our team will leverage that understanding for this effort as appropriate. <br />Deliverables: <br /> Draft and final technical memorandum supplemented with conceptual <br />drawings reflecting the construction methods and phasing for potential project <br />implementation and commentary on the design compatibility with the relevant <br />design criteria. <br />1.2.2 Task 2.2 Corridor and System Coordination <br />The Mott MacDonald Team fully understands the Caltrain Long Range Service <br />Vision (Vision) will be transformational by providing a step change in <br />connectivity, service frequency, journey times and capacity along the corridor. <br />Redwood City station is the fifth busiest Caltrain station, with all services <br />stopping at this key location and transfers to and from several SamTrans bus <br />routes. The recently electrified Caltrain corridor will be used for the proposed <br />CHSR to extend between San Francisco and San Jose. In providing the <br />infrastructure for these high-speed services, a blended system will be <br />established with the existing Caltrain services with Redwood City station as a <br />mid-peninsula hub. While CHSR does not intend to serve Redwood City station, <br />the station will provide a critical transfer point between Caltrain express and local <br />trains. <br />The Vision includes two growth scenarios - moderate and high, evaluated <br />against a baseline growth level. The moderate growth scenario will be used for <br />this effort which proposes four local and four express Caltrain services per hour <br />per direction for a total of 8 trains per hour per direction (8 tphpd) and four CHSR <br />trains per hour per direction (4 tphpd). <br />In implementing this vision, a series of interventions will be required along the <br />corridor. These interventions include four station tracks in Redwood City for <br />timed transfers and grade separations along the corridor within Redwood City. <br />The grade separations are required to reduce pedestrian, bicycle, and motor <br />vehicle conflicts with trains and to decrease traffic delays, especially with the <br />addition of CHSR to the corridor. The four-track station hub at Redwood City is <br />required to facilitate transfers between express and local trains as well as <br />between SamTrans buses. <br />Our systems team will review the Redwood City Grade Separation Planning <br />Study/Project Summary Report, the recently published Caltrain Corridor Crossing <br />Strategy and use these sources to develop an electrification systems strategy. <br />This will include planning and evaluating, through a high-level desktop analysis <br />of the record data of the electrification system, to inform the staging of the works, <br />scope for next phase of the study and assist in determining whether to proceed <br />to the environmental phase. <br />Deliverables: <br /> Draft and final memorandum describing necessary electrification system <br />requirements for the moderate Vision implementation and system scopes of <br />work for future phases of the project. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.069/Caltrain (MOU with Caltrain- Grade Separation Project) (Page 14 of 18)
