South San Francisco Station Relocation Study |
|
|
|
|
|
This project is for the preliminary engineering of the South
San Francisco Caltrain Station, including the potential for accommodation of a
child care facility. This project involves a preliminary engineering study
to look at options to move the existing South San Francisco Station boarding
platforms south to improve access (including ADA) to the station from the
west. This project will also provide access to the station from the east,
improve access for shuttles to the station through a shuttle and kiss and ride
drop off area on the east, relocate the UP yard to accommodate the above
changes, provide grade separated pedestrian access at the station, purchase
Right of Way for changes and construct a third or possibly 4th track through the
station. This project is tied to TA Project No. 707.
Preliminary engineering work is underway to provide a revised track reconfiguration and a new station platform layout. This preliminary engineering work is being performed in conjunction with input from the City and a SamTrans consultant - Project for Public Spaces (PPS). The conjunction with adding additional main tracks and reconfiguring the platforms, the existing UP yard tracks (3 by 2000 feet) on each side of the main track will need to be consolidated and reconfigured. UPRR must approve the yard changes. The City of South San Francisco is an important stakeholder in the project from which input will be sought during the project study report phase. Additional funding to perform the detailed project study report will be required. Provided that additional funding is forthcoming, future activities include performing a detailed project study report to accurately determine a tight scope, budget, and schedule for the proposed project. The report will also address whether the construction work can be accomplished by spring between 2002 and spring 2004. |
