Part 2 Station Area Profile The Station Area Profile is a summary of some of the physical and regulatory conditions currently existing within the study area. Overview Riverside Marketplace High Quality Transit Area Riverside - Downtown Metrolink Station Socioeconomic Profile Demographic Profile Employment Profile Employment Trends Previous Planning Efforts Marketplace Specific Plan (1991) From Transit Station to Transit Village - Compass Blueprint (2006) Urban Land Institute Transit-Oriented Development Marketplace (2010) Eastside Neighborhood Plan (2009) Downtown Specific Plan (2002) University Avenue Specific Plan (1992) Executive Summary Station Area Profile Outreach Opportunities/Constraints Vision Implementation Plan Riverside Marketplace High Quality Transit Area OVERVIEW The City of Riverside’s High Quality Transit Area (HQTA) is located east of the I-91, adjacent to the freeway, and shares the same boundary as the Riverside Marketplace Specific Plan adopted in 1991. The HQTA includes the Downtown MetroLink station which is served by three commuter lines (Riverside, Inland Empire-OC, and 91/Perris Valley). The area is also served by several bus routes and is planned to be serviced by the future high-speed rail. Although the HQTA is across the I-91 from Downtown Riverside, urban character of the latter is markedly different. Downtown Riverside predominantly consists of civic institutions such as Riverside City Hall, the County Superior Court, and the Court House whereas the HQTA contains of a range of underutilized properties such as old abandoned industrial buildings, historic packing houses, and surface parking lots. The City’s aim is to create a multi-modal transit center with high quality transit-oriented development (TOD) in the HQTA. Since the I-91 will remain a barrier separating the Pilot Project Area from the downtown, it is likely that the HQTA will maintain an urban character that is unique from Downtown Riverside, which can be advantageously leveraged by the City to create a TOD pilot project.
