Transit Village

As reported in 2006 by the

BART and Caltrain
stations, regional ferry terminals, Park & Ride lots, and Transit Centers, all aimed at reducing sprawl and traffic.

Planning

In 2016 an ultra light rail service was proposed and supported by the

Richmond City Council to connect the center with the city's waterfront (Marina Bay).[3]
In 2017 the Metropolitan Transportation Commission mulled expanded parking here to address projected double digit traffic growth in the area through 2040.[4]

It has also been studied as a potential location for a future BART station extension along the Orange Line (BART).[5]
