Station area development requires stations. With each new rail iransit system constructed in the United States, station area development appears to becoming a more important aspect of rail transit investment. In order to apply in Florida what has emerged as a successful strategy in other communities, it is essential to know what the potential for its application is in this state. A logical place to begin is to review our assets. Although Florida is probably not perceived as a rail transit state, either by its residents or outsiders, rail transit (in its various dimensions) is a component ofpublic transportation in southeast Florida, in Jacksonville, and soon will become a part ofthe transit mix in Tampa. In late 1999, rail transit served 44 stations in the metropolitan Miami area, another 14 in Broward and Palm Beach counties and 6 stations in Jacksonville. Two additional stations will open in JackSonville in March, 2000. Tampa has begun construction on a streetcar line that will have 12 stations when service is inaugurated in 2001. By late 2001 , there will be nearly 80 rail transit stations in the state. Miami has plans for further expansion of its Metrorail system. If all of these plans were implemented the rail system in Miami Dade County would double in size, and add over 30 new stations. Plans are being developed for a rail system in the greater Tampa area of Hillsborough County. This system contains 30 stations. Orlando recently scrapped plans for a light rail system that would have 17 stations in its first phase. The possibility exists that Orlando will revisit light rail on a different corridor, or in an attenuated version. Jacksonville is studying rail transit in three corridors. Pinellas County (St. Petersburg and Clearwater) is studying a major guideway project in the lJ.S. 19 Corridor. A plan by the Tampa/Orlando 2012 Olympics Committee calls for an intercity rail link to connect those two cities and also serve intermediate points. While it is beyond the scope ofthis study to investigate the total range of planned rail transit projects, it is essential to inventory existing conditions. This is what this technical memorandum is all about. It establishes the "state of the station" for rail transit in Florida today. Approach. Constructing an inventory ofrail transit station area development in Florida has required several steps. The research team first identified those communities with rail transit. Rail transit was defined broadly to include widely recognized light rail, heavy rail and commuter rail technology. Since light rail has evolved out of traditional streetcar technology it seemed only appropriate to . include planned, and now under construction in Tampa, streetcar development. Another technological variation that is grouped in with rail transit is the automated guideway technology. This does not operate on traditional railroad tracks, although it has many ofthe characteristics ofrail transit in that the wheels ofthe vehicle are guided by·the supporting structure upon which they rest. Florida has two examples of this technology in transit service today: Miami and Jacksonville. Heavy rail transit, or rapid transit, is exemplified by Miami' s Metrorail system. Heavy rail operates on a grade separated right-of-way. In Florida, this is an elevated structure. Another traditional rail transit Enabling Station Area Development 1 Tech Memo Number 2 technology, that does not yet exist in Florida, is light rail. Light rail evolved in post World Warll Europe as cities adapted former streetcar systems to new environments by putting portions of lines on private right of way outside of city centers, mixed in with running in the streets downtown. Or sometimes reversing the situation with street running in the suburbs and in subway tunnels, or on elevated structures, downtown. Orlando's now defunct plan included a key light rail component. Tampa is considering a regional rail system that would incorporate three lines and use a diesel version oflight rail transit. The last example ofrail transittechnology to be used in Florida is commuter rail. Commuter rail operates in a traditional railroad environment, usually sharing tracks with freight trains or intercity passenger trains. Tri Rail inaugurated Florida's first commuter rail service in 1989 · between West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami. In order to understand existing and future. roles of station area development, it was necessary to conduct a survey of each ofthe transit systems with rail service. Research carried out by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida was useful in identifying characteristics of station area development. This research had surveyed numerous rail transit systems across the country as part of a project for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to identify factors that contribute to the success ofi.nvesuncnt in rail transit. As part ofthis research some information was obtained on the systems in Miami and south Florida. To supplement this information an extensive set of field visits to rail and guideway transit systems in Florida was made. Documents were collected from each system that identified station locations and general characteristics. Maps and aerial photographs were examined before going into the field to look at each station. Several field visits were made to each station on systems operated by Metro Dade Transit Agency (Mctrorail and Metromover); Tri County Commuter Rail Authority (fri Rail); Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA); Orlando-Seminole-Orange County Transit Authority (Lynx); Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART); and to local government planning offices in several counties and cities where stations exist. Appropriate staffwere interviewed at these agencies. In the field, notes were taken on each station site. Photographs (35 rom slides, and digital images) were taken of stations and the area around them. This ipformation was then brought together and analyzed to obtain the best possible understanding ofwhat exists at each site; what is planned (where plans exist), and what opporllmities are available. Vacant land and older buildings were considered the most likely potential development sites. What follows is an inventory ofexisting stations on Florida's rail and guideway transit systems. One new system under construction, the HART Tampa-Ybor City streetca,r, is included. Although data was collected, and is available, for the proposed light rail system in Orlando, and the diesel light rail system in Tampa, these arc not included. A September 1999 vote by county commissioners has derailed the planned Lynx light rail project. The proposed Tampa Early Action Rail Project for 28 miles of light rail and 30 stations was not included in the December 1999 recommendations of the Enabling Station Area Development 2 Tech Memo Number 2 Hillsborough County Commilte\l of 99 established by the County Commission to prioritize transportation investments, an action that will make moving the project ahead more difficult. Presentation: A section on each of Florida's rail transit systems follows this introduction. The systems are listed in alphabetical order by transit agency, from HART to Tri Rail. For agency systems (MDTA has two: Metrorail and Metromover) the stations are listed in sequential order from north to south. A brief introductory section and a system map is provided at the beginning ofeach system. A standardized format has been used to present the information. The following items are included in the inventory of each ofthe stations: • A schematic system route diagram showing the location of each station in the system, with the one featured highlighted. • . An aerial photograph of the station area (these vary in size and scale depending upon availability).• • A description ofthe station characteristics. • Location on the street network, or an address. • Political jurisdiction (city or county). • Transportation providers (who provides public transportation). • Transit services (agency, routes, hours and frequency ofservice). • Parking availability. • Station area activities, a summary ofthe key activities that take place in the station area. • Generalized land use, a subjective characterization ofthe overall land use in the area within 1/4 mile of the station. • Station area property values (a breakout ofland and building values around each station).** • Development opportunities, a general assessment of what appears to be available for development or redevelopment (not detailed as to number or size ofparcels ). • Vacant land that appears to be the most obvious development opportunity. • Special notes that reflect a unique character of condition that could impact development. The inventory should not be taken as a detailed real estate portfolio. It applies to geneml conditions and situations. Photographs are included with each ofthe stations to provide a visual impression of conditions, key elements, or of the general character oftbe area. • Vertical aerial photographs were used where available. 01\ly oblique aerial photographs were available for Tri Rail sta(ions. Adequate aerial photos were not available for one JacksonviUe station area. •• This data was collected from a variety of primary and secondary sources tbat bad been extracted from the latest available property appraisal information. The area of coverage around stations varies from about two or three blocks for. Skyw ay in Jacksonville; l ,000 feet for HART. in TamP" and forTri Rail in the south Florida corridor; Miami Metro rail coverage includes a 112 mile radius around each station; and, Miami Metromover extends from about 200 yards to one half mile. Enabling Station Area Development 3 Tech Memo Number 2 HILLSBOROUGH AREA REGIONAL TRANSIT (HART) TAMPA-YBOR CITY STREETCAR System Description. Hillsborough Area Regional Transit and the City ofTampa are building a 2.5 mile streetcar line connecting the Convention Center and historic Ybor City. Construction began in September, 1999. Completion ofthe $23 million project is anticipated to be in late 2001. Eight replica streetcars are being fabricated by Gomaco, Inc. oflda Grove, Iowa, with delivery of the first car scheduled for March, 2000. These cars are designed to resemble the Birney cars that operated on Tampa's former streetcar system until its abandorunent in 1946. One ofthe original Birney cars is being restored through the volunteer efforts ofthe Tampa & Ybor City Street Railway Society. This car will be made available for excursion and special event service. Regular service on the line will be maintained by the fleet ofreplica cars. The Tarnpa-Ybor City Streetcar will be largely a single-track operation with passing sidings. Track will be laid in city streets, or on separate right-of-way parallel to the street. Twelve stations will be builL The stations will have track-level platforms, shelters with seating, and a speciall2 foot long streetcar floor-level block for handicapped access. Ramps will lead from the sidewalk to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible block. A fold-down plate at the door of the streetcar will bridge the gap to the block. The single-track nature of the system requires a station platform on one side ofthe track only. The streetcars will have folding doors and steps at both ends, and on both sides. The cars will b~ double ended, allowing for operation in either direction. Electric power for traction motors will be obtained from an overhead catenary system. Each car will be equipped with two trolley poles, and operators will have to switch poles at the terminal ends ofthe line before making return trips. Streetcar service will be provided 7 days a week, beginning in time for morning journey-to-work trips on weekdays. Service will start later on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Operations will continue until late evening on weekdays, and until midnight on weekends. Service frequency will range from 7 J/2 minutes during peak periods to 15 minutes at lower demand times. The streetcar service is expected to benefit travelers to and from a variety of major destinations that will be in place at the time ofthe opening ofthe system. These include, in addition to the Convention Center: new hotels on Garrison Channel and in Ybor City; the Ice Palace; Florida Aquarium; two new entertainment complexes; the Tampa Port Authority headquarters; Hillsborough Community College; and several new apartment and/or condominium developments. In late 1999 over $600 million in new development was under construction along the streetcar route. HART and the City ofTampa are pursning active development and redevelopment Stfategies along the streetcar corridor. HART has commissioned a study to identify development opportunities near the 12 stations. A one quarter mile wide corridor along the streetcar alignment has been targeted as the potential development area.

This initial segment was operated with two small automated cars of the VAL technology developed in France. The automated vehicles were equipped with mbber tires and ran on a channeled guideway with electrical power and control data supplied from a contact rail underneath the center of the cars. Early plans were to test reaction to the system, and then expand it. Maintenance problems and teclurical difficulties led to a decision in 1995 to retrofit the system with another technology before planned extensions were made. The initial three station, 0.6 mile system was shut down in 1997. Construction proceeded on two extensions to produce a longer, y-shaped, two route system, that would reach 2.5 miles in length, incorporate 8 stations, and extend across the St. John's River to the South Bank area which has been emerging as a cluster of new hotels and office buildings. The existing short Une and the extensions are equipped with a center beam monorail system. An extension further into the heart ofdowntown Jacksonville and the first two stations south of the ri,veropened in late 1998. The final 0.5 mile segment on the South Bank will open in March, 2000. The Skyway monorail system is similar to that operated at Disney World near Orlando. However, single, articulated cars, rather than five car trains, are operated. The ears are guided by a central beam which also provides vehicle support and contains electrical power and control rails for supplying the cars. The entire system is a doubl~guideway; cars operate in one direction on each ofth e parallel guideways. A switching system moves the track at the tenninal ends to allow the proper track to be used when the car reverses. The entire system is built on elevated structures, largely above city streets, although some private right-of-way is used. Each of the 9 vehicles is double-ended, air-conditioned, and can carry as many as 56 persons. No operator is on board; operation is computer controlled from a central facility. The 8 stations all have center platforms between the parallel guideways. The platforms are at car floor level. The elevated stations are accessible from ground level by stairs, escalators and elevators. Sky\vay operates six days a week, with service beginning at 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and continuing into th.e early evening hours. On weekends sen-ice starts and ends later Saturdays. No Sunday service is offered. Cars operate on minimum three minute headways during peak periods. The system functions as two routes: one running from the downtown tenninal near the community college north to the Convention Center, the other extends from the same downtown terminal to the South Bank area. Electronic signs at the stations inform passengers which route the car is taking. Fares are paid at entry turnstiles at the ground level at each station. The three end point stations arc intcrmodal facilities which contain parking sites, and serve as transfer points for bus and/or park-and-ride patrons. Jacksonville does not have a policy for station area development. However, considerable development is taking place at or ncar Skyway stations.

Enabllng Station Area De'Velopment 47 Tech Memo Number 2 METRO DADE TRANSIT AGENCY (MDTA) METRORAIL Systent Description. MDTA opened Metrorail, a 21 mile rapid transit system in the City ofiV!iami and other portions of Miami·Dade County, in 1984. A heavy rail system, Metrorail is built on an elevated structure above or along side of roadways using precast concTCte beams mounted on heavy steel and concrete piers. The initial line was planned to serve key traffic congestion corridors south of downtown Miami along U.S. I (South Dixie Highway), and to aid in the economic development of the area to the northwest of the cicy. Twcncy stations were included in the first phase of the system. A new station was opened in 1990 to connect with Tri Rail commuter trains which terminate northwest of the city. This transfer station permitted rail transit travel in a 75 mile corridor extending from West Palm Beach through Palm Beach and Broward counties to downtown Miami. MDTA is constructing a short extension of Metrorail from Okeechobee station west to a new station to be located west of the Palmetto Expressway. Long range plans include construction of an east.west corridor linking the Florida International University campus. Miami International Airport, downtown Miami and the cruise ship terminal on Biscayne Bay. Other planned extensions would continue north along N. W. 21"' Avenue to the Broward County line, and wesrward from the south line to the Kendall area. Trains, composed ofmarried pairs of rapid transit cars. consist of two, four or six cars. Trains operate in an automatic train operation (ATO) mode, but with a driver on board. The fleet is composed of 136 cars. Cars are air conditioned and have an operator's cab at the outer ends ofeach married pair. A mixture of transverse and longitudinal seating and standee space allows for 130 passengers per car. The entire system is double tracked. All stations arc elevated structures and have car floor level platforms. Passengers enter through fare gates at street level. Stairs, escalators and elevators provide access to trackside platforms. Some stations have two outer platforms; others a single center platfonn. Telephones, system information, and security are available at all stations. Parking facilities exist at most stations. Metrorail trains operate seven days a week, from 5:30 a.m. until midnight. Peak hour headways are 5 minutes, off peak hours are 10 minutes on weekdays, and 20 minutes in evenings and on weekends. Trains are maintained at a service facility and repair shop located west of Okeechobee station. Transfers to Metrobus are available at rail stations. Connections also exist to ll·fetromover and Tri Rail commuter trains. Station area development has been a goal of MDTA from the earliest planning ofMetrorail. A series of station concept plans was developed in 1982 for each of the 20 stations. The city of Miami passed a transit development ordinance. Since the mid·l990s MDTA has undertaken a much more aggressive station area development progJ3111. The best examples of successful development are at Civic Center, Government Center, Dadcland North and Dadeland South. MDTA is currently pw:suing new development plans for several other stations. Station area development is incorporated as an integral part of the planning for the east·west corridor, should funding be secured for this system expansion.

Sunset Plaza includes mid-size anchor stores, specialty shops, restaurants, a 12 screen movie theater and several snack shops. The mall has stimulated a revitalization ofSo\lth Miami•s commercial district and a number of buildings along Sunset Drive have been renovated.

The County has reached an asreement allowing joint development of aparb:nen.t lofts over retail development at the·station parlting site. Vacant Land: The.re is very limited vacant land in this area for new development. Ac::cess Issues: The major access issue is the Dixie Highway crossing for pedestrians. This is particularly critical in view of the opening of Sunset Plaza mall. Walking from the Metrorail station to the mall rcquiles a circuitous route that could be shortened and made safer with a pedestrian overpass leading directly from the station to the mall palking garage.

Metromover is an automated guideway transit system, built on elevated structures, that functions as a transit circulator in downtown Miami and adjacent areas to the north and south. Electrically powered, rubber tired cars run on a steel surface laid on concrete beams above city streets and other wban properties. The first segment of what has grown to a 4.4 mile system opened in 1986 as a loop in the central business district of Miami. Two subsequent extensions opened in 1994. These extensions brought Metromover service south of the Miami River to the city's fast growing Brickell fmancial district, and north along Biscayne Boulevard to serve a growing area of office, retail, cultural and sports facility development. Unlike Mctrorail which has an on-board operator on each train, Metromover is fully automated. Trains are controlled from a computerized operations center where commands are relayed to on-board systems which control speed, braking. door opening and closing, air conditioning, and public address announcements. Connections arc made with Mctrorail trains at two stations: Government Center and Brickell. Metromover trains are composed ofone or two cars. Each of the 16 cars in the fleet is air-conditioned, has seating for 14 passengers, and standee room for crush loads of75. Power and control information is picked up from contact wires placed on a small beam in the middle of the track. Cars can operate in either direction, and have two sets of sliding doors on each side. Stations are aU equipped with car floor level platforms located in the center of the double guideway system. Each station has both visual and audio information about approaching trains. All stations are accessed from the ground floor through turnstiles for payment of fares. Stairs and elevators provide access to the platform level. Metromover operates three separate routes. All routes use the original downtown loop. A clockwise route serves only those stations on the downtown loop. Brickell Loop trains serve the area south of the Miami River, enter the downtown loop and traverse it on the outer guidew•y in a counter clockwise direction. Omni Loop trains also serve the outer guideway in the counter clockwise path before heading north to stations along Biscayne Boulevard. During peak hours each loop operates every five minutes. Off peak headways drop to I 0 minutes. Connections arc made with Meto:ordil at Government Center and Brickell stations and Vl'ith Metrobus at most stations. Station area development has been less of a conscious effort by MDTA on tlte Men:omover system than Metrorail. Development and redevelopment efforts have been largely the responsibility of the City of Miami and private developers. However~ since 1995 .tviDTA has taken a much more active role in coordinating efforts with other agencies and private investors. This has extended to providing direct access from stations to adjacent buildings, and to assisting with the redevelopment of buildings where the agency has ownership resulting from required right-of-way acquisition. A great deal of development potential exists on the two Metromover extensions. Public investment is building new cultural and sports facilities near stations on the Onmi Loop.

EnabHng Station Area Development 99 Teclt Memo N umber Z TRI COUNTY COMMUTER RAIL AUTHORITY TRIRAIL System Description: In the late 1980s, faced with a major rebuilding ofl-95, the Florida Department of Transportation, in collaboration with Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties decided to create a commuter rail alternative in this 72 mile corridor for use during the seven year reconstruction period. A new agency, the Tri County Commuter Rail Authority, was established to carry out this task. An existing mainline railroad segment was purchased from CSX, with the railroad retaining freight trackage rights, use by Amtrak, and dispatching functions. Tri Rail was the operational name for new commuter train service to be operated over th.is route. The first trains ran in 1989. Five existing railroad stations used by Amtrak also became stops on Tri Rail. Stops were added at nearly a d Tri Rail trains are composed of up to six hi-level commuter cars, and hauled by a diesel locomotive. Operating practice is generally for the locomotive to pull southbound trains, and push northbound ones. Passenger cars at the opposite end of the train are equipped with a control cab for running in push mode. All cars are ofa bi-level design developed in Canada and first used in Toronto. Identical cars operate today in Los Angeles, San Diego, Vancouver, and by the end of 1999 in Seattle. Cars are air conditioned with carpeting and comfortable, upholstered seating. Stations are track level platforms, located on one side of what was originally a single-track railroad Tri Rail has moved ahead with a plan to double track the entire system to improve on-time performance and enable capacity expansion. Double tracking requires a second station platform, and several stations have been expanded to meet this need. Tri Rail commuter trains operate seven days a week, from early morning to late evening hours. Twenty eight week day trains are currently operated. Eighteen trains run on Saturday; ten on Sunday. Tri Rail connects with Metrorail service at 79.. Street in Miami to allow travelers from points to the north to access downtown Miami. Shuttle bus service is provided at some Tri Rail stations, either by the commuter rail ageney, or with local transit. Extension of the line has resulted in building of two new stations. One other has been added, and others have been rebuilt in association with the double tracking projects. Station area development has only recently become a major concern ofTri Rail. The commuter rail authority has solicited plans for five stations and is proceeding with their first significant development project at Cypress Creek. Several stations have adjacent vacant land. Plans are to add two edditional stations in the Boca Raton area in the near future. Both offer significant development opportunities.
