  • Santa Clara Station Pedestrian Crossing Study
    Final Report Santa Clara Station Pedestrian Crossing Study Prepared for Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Prepared by June 8, 2007 Final Report SANTA CLARA STATION PEDESTRIAN CROSSING STUDY PURPOSE OF REPORT The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has requested an analysis of the pros and cons of a potential temporary pedestrian grade crossing of Union Pacific Railroad (UP) tracks at the Santa Clara Caltrain Station. The station is located south of Benton Road. Access to the two Caltrain tracks adjacent to the station is from the west (geographic south). The UP tracks run parallel to and to the east of the Caltrain tracks. The Santa Clara Station is one of three stations in Santa Clara County where pedestrian access to trains is only from one side of the station1. Caltrain is designing a major capital project at the station jointly funded by Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) and the Caltrain Joint Powers Board (JPB) that will improve train operations. This project will include a pedestrian tunnel under the Caltrain tracks to a planned “island” center passenger platform. The area of the new platform appears in Figure 1. As planned and funded, the Caltrain tunnel will not extend all the way to the eastside of the UP tracks. Rather, the tunnel will serve as access for the island platform from the Santa Clara station platform only. Construction of the tunnel is scheduled for completion within two years. A potential temporary crossing of the UP tracks would provide interim access to the planned center island platform, to be located between the Caltrain and UP tracks, from the east side of the UP tracks.

The railroad line, one of the oldest in California, was fi rst proposed in 1851 to connect the booming trade center of San Francis- co and the fi rst state capital of California, San Jose. Ground for the railroad was not broken until May 1861, when construction of the line began at San Francisquito Creek, on the Santa Clara-San Mateo county line. By October 1863, regular service be- gan between San Francisco and Mayfi eld (now the California Avenue station in Palo Alto).

This option is FREE! 2) Lyft/Uber from SFO to CCRMA 3) SuperShuttle (https://www.supershuttle.com/) to Campus From San Jose International Airport (SJC): There is no public transportation to campus.

San Jose’s first railroad station was located near San Pedro and Bassett Streets. This station formed the southern terminus of the San Francisco & San Jose Railroad, which began passenger service on January 17, 1864. The railroad cut down what had been an eight-hour trip from San Francisco to San Jose to three-and-a-half hours. The photo above shows the station in its first year of operation. 2 Images on file at the Smith-Layton Archive, Sourisseau Academy for State and Local History August 2017 [84] Railroad crossing near El Palo Alto. El Palo Alto - the tall tree - was an early railroad landmark near San Francisquito Creek. The first train to reach Santa Clara County arrived at the Mayfield (now Palo Alto) Station of the San Francisco & San Jose Railroad on October 17, 1863. Among its passengers were California Governor Leland Stanford and Oregon Governor A. C. Gibbs. One half of the twin tree, unfortunately, was lost in a storm in 1886. 3 Images on file at the Smith-Layton Archive, Sourisseau Academy for State and Local History August 2017 [85] Bridge to the Nation: Howe Truss Bridge along Central Pacific Line in Niles Canyon.

Dear Stakeholders, Caltrain needs to be modernized. We need to implement Caltrain electrification, procure electric trains and install CBOSS PTC (an advanced signal system). These efforts will allow us to operate an electric rail service that is safer, more efficient and “greener”. The vision for Caltrain is clear and has been confirmed by the Joint Powers Board and the region. However, funding for modernizing the system has been illusive and the greatest impediment to project advancement. In 2008, the voters approved Proposition 1A which authorized state funding for high speed rail in California. This was clearly a significant milestone for the state of California, but also for Caltrain. The high speed rail project, an electrified system, has been defined to use the Caltrain corridor to reach its northern terminus, downtown San Francisco. What this means is that Caltrain and high speed rail can combine local and new resources to advance electrification of the Peninsula rail corridor. Since the passage of Proposition 1A, Caltrain and high-speed rail have been defining infrastructure
