Comments:

SFRTA conducted a market and economic analysis of proposed Tri-Rail Coastal Link stations to outline the positive impacts that each municipality proposed for a Coastal Link station could potentially realize in terms of real estate development and resulting fiscal benefits. SFRTA also prepared a Station Area Opportunities report, which summarizes the station area visions many communities have created, and a Station Refinement Report, which summarizes the planning analysis conducted to identify recommended station locations to be analyzed during the Project Development phase.

SFRTA adopted a TOD Policy and Outreach Strategy in April 2017, and has contracted with the RPCs to conduct outreach to meet w/local governments along the SFRC rail corridor for the purpose of introducing/discussing the new policy and local gov LDRs relative to TOD. SFRTA also received an FTA grant to conduct TOD planning activities along the Tri-Rail Coastal Link (TRCL) FEC corridor; together with the RPCs, 4 charrettes and several local gov workshops will be held over the next 12 months for public input on station location, design, and TOD development elements.
