•Circulation within study area

•High-speed rail to downtown and connecting transit modes

•Multimodal transfers at hub

Areas of Investigation

•Multimodal station location and orientation

•Pedestrian circulation plan

•Programming and siting of connecting transportation modes

•Buses and streetcar

•Vehicular pick-up and drop-off, including ride-sharing services

•Active transportation, including bicycles and scooters

•Vertiport location and configuration

•Station area development plan and value capture analysis

•Vehicular traffic access and circulation

•Coordination with other ongoing projects, including IH-30 Canyon reconstruction and planned high-speed rail station

•Integration of transportation plan with convention center and area master plans

 

Intermodal Interchange Precedents & Benchmarking

Denver Union Station

  • Redeveloped historic headhouse is a civic focal point Transportation hub is spread over a 4-block zone

  • High-capacity bus station – offers good rail-bus and light rail-bus transfers

  • Transfers between rail and light rail or downtown circulator require a 1,000 ft. walk  

  • Has spurred district-wide redevelopment

  • Physical barriers limit rail transit expansion potential and constrain future network expansion
