Project Description
The BART Silicon Valley Phase II Station Area Access and TOD Study will develop a unified TOD implementation strategy for the corridor and station areas. The Study will identify multimodal access needs and TOD opportunities to promote redevelopment and accessibility along the 6.5-mile corridor spanning 28th Street/Little Portugal, Downtown San José, Diridon, and Santa Clara.
Project Benefits
This project creates a corridor-wide, multimodal focus for TOD planning that cannot be realized through conventional planning efforts. The attractiveness and convenience of transit will be significantly diminished if access and circulation around each station are not well-planned, thus reducing the effectiveness of TOD.
In addition, unified corridor planning is the most effective way to achieve desired reductions in auto trips to destinations in the TOD area.

This project will generate broad-based consensus among a diverse range of public and private stakeholders in San José and Santa Clara on strategy implementation. Efforts will include public agency coordination to facilitate the following: TOD land assembly and acquisition d esign guidelines for private buildings and public spaces; and project implementation coordination to stimulate economic development.
The project will identify how to leverage and coordinate land use policies, circulation and parking improvements, public space enhancements, and public finance tools to attract and accommodate a larger share of future regional growth. Overall, the project will establish a foundation for sustainable redevelopment along the Phase II corridor to benefit increased transit ridership, economic development, and station areas' vibrancy.
VTA will take the lead on crafting a Design Development Framework (DDF) for VTA -owned property above and adjacent to the 28th Street/Little Portugal Station in San José. The DDF will serve as a guideb ook for potential future developers during the TOD proposal stage and beyond, documented in the Design Development Framework Final Documentation. This documentation will be supplemented by a presentation by VTA staff to the VTA Board of Directors on the Design for Development Framework process and outcomes.
VTA will work in partnership with the City of San José to update the Five Wounds Urban Village Plan, the study area of which includes the BART Phase II 28th Street/Little Portugal Station. Key delivera bles from that effort will be the Stakeholder Engagement Plan and the Updated Five Wounds Urban Village Plan. At the BART Phase II 28th Santa Clara Station, VTA will partner with the City of Santa Clara as they develop the Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan. Key deliverables from that effort will be Santa Clara Station Area Specific Plan and the accompanying City Council Presentation and Staff Report.
