Project Goals• Develop a Master Plan that
will:
• Identify a preferred solutionthat will eliminate the at-grade crossing at CastroStreet and the railroad tracks
• Improve the functionality ofthe Transit Center andsupport future growth
![Page 4: Mt view tcmp community_meeting_2-02-17](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a19e8b1a28ab97118b7103/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

• Accommodate the expected growth in train service andstation usage
• Train service to more than double over the next 10–15 years
• Relieve delays at the railroad crossing on Castro• Railroad gate blockages in peak hours to double
• Improve safety and access for pedestrians and bicyclists• Support the economic vitality and future growth of
downtown Mountain View• Accommodate changes in transportation patterns and
services
Why Is It Needed?

Where we are now

Mountain View Transit Center
![Page 8: Mt view tcmp community_meeting_2-02-17](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a19e8b1a28ab97118b7103/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

• Almost 9,000 daily Caltrain boardings and alightings• Almost 3,000 daily VTA bus and LRT boardings and
alightings• Almost 1,500 daily shuttle boardings and alightings
Existing Activity

AM Activity at Transit Center

PM Activity at Transit Center
![Page 11: Mt view tcmp community_meeting_2-02-17](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a19e8b1a28ab97118b7103/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
• Insufficient shuttle space• 147 shuttles visit transit center in peak periods each day
• Insufficient bike parking• Bikes attached to trees, poles, and benches due to lack of available bike
parking
• Challenging pedestrian movements• Over 300 pedestrians and bicycles cross Central Expressway in peak
hours
• Parking infringes on neighborhoods• Parking lot fills up between 7 and 8 AM
• No pick-up/drop-off area• Pick-up/drop-off occurs in the parking lot
Current Transit Center is Over Capacity
![Page 12: Mt view tcmp community_meeting_2-02-17](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a19e8b1a28ab97118b7103/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
• Electrification of Caltrain will increase train frequencyand ridership
• Longer trainsets to increase Caltrain capacity• Year 2040 ridership projected to be 97% greater than Year
2015 levels
• Modified bus routes with VTA Next Network• Anticipated further growth in shuttles• Continued growth in bicycle and walk access• Surge in ride hailing services (Uber/Lyft)
Future Needs
![Page 13: Mt view tcmp community_meeting_2-02-17](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a19e8b1a28ab97118b7103/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
• Grade-separated pedestrian crossings of Central Expressway andCaltrain tracks
• Extended Caltrain platforms• Bus and shuttle area to allow for future growth• Curb space for pick-up/drop-off• Parking garage – shared parking with downtown• Enclosed bike parking areas• Public spaces• Areas for transit-oriented development
Components of the Master Plan
![Page 14: Mt view tcmp community_meeting_2-02-17](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a19e8b1a28ab97118b7103/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Developed 4 concepts• Differ in the following ways:
• Location of platforms• Configuration of bus/shuttle area• Location of pick-up/drop-off areas• Location and configuration of parking garage• Parking garage access• Plaza configuration and size
• Concept 1 reflected least change from existing. Council StudySession suggested focusing on Concepts 2-4 as they best achieveproject objectives
Development of Concepts

Evaluation of Concepts• Bicycle/pedestrian circulation• Bus/shuttle operations• Flexibility for future needs• Ease of transfers• Integration with downtown Mountain View and Moffett area• Auto access and circulation• Cost• Construction impacts• Phasing feasibility
![Page 20: Mt view tcmp community_meeting_2-02-17](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062522/58a19e8b1a28ab97118b7103/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
• All Concepts provide enough curb space for anticipated futureneeds
• Concept 4 provides the most curb space with lots of pick-up/drop-offspace on Evelyn
• Concept 2 is likely the least expensive to construct• Concept 4 provides a slightly larger plaza than other concepts• Concept 4 provides greatest space for development
opportunities due to parking below ground• Because of underground parking, Concept 4 is highest cost
• Central Expressway ramp would be utilized by approximately25% of existing auto access to station
• Cost of ramp estimated at $25-$30 Million
